Trump admits deportation policy was too harsh after midterm defeat

20min.ch (French) —

Donald Trump admitted Sunday in a CBS interview that his mass deportation policy was "too harsh," days after his party's midterm defeat. He did not specify whether he plans to change his approach. The apparent shift comes two days after he promoted hardline adviser Stephen Miller, a key architect of the deportation policy, to White House chief of staff. Hispanic voters who helped elect Trump turned against him, citing unmet price promises and indiscriminate deportations. Vice President JD Vance, attributing the Republican loss mainly to the Iran war, said he was "open to modifying enforcement practices," proposing to target businesses hiring undocumented workers.
