  "summary": "In a television interview aired Sunday, President Donald Trump stated that his administration's mass deportation campaign may have been too aggressive. Speaking to CBS’s “60 Minutes,” Trump suggested his deportation policy may have contributed to the Republican party's losses in the midterm elections, stating, “I think it might be too tough, yeah.”\n\nFollowing the loss of Republican control over the House and Senate, Trump expressed a belief that he could work with the new Democratic majority to reach an immigration deal. While he did not provide specific details regarding what such an agreement would entail, he described the prospect of working something out as \"doable.\"\n\nShortly after taping the interview on Friday, Trump appointed Stephen Miller, identified as the key architect of his hard-line immigration agenda, as his new chief of staff. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer responded to Trump's comments on social media on Sunday by scoffing at the claim.",
