Trump admits deportation policy was 'too harsh' after midterm defeat

lalibre.be (French) —

Donald Trump acknowledged 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 admission follows Democrats' sweeping midterm victory Tuesday, with Hispanic voters who previously supported Trump turning against him over unmet price promises and indiscriminate deportation practices. Trump promoted hardline adviser Stephen Miller to chief of staff two days earlier. Vice President JD Vance, attributing the loss mainly to the Iran war, said he was "open to modifying enforcement practices," proposing targeting businesses that hire undocumented workers.
