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

lemonde.fr (French) [$] —

Donald Trump acknowledged Sunday in a CBS interview that his administration's mass deportation policy was "too harsh," days after Republicans' midterm defeat. He did not specify whether he plans to change the approach. The admission follows his promotion of Stephen Miller, a key architect of the deportation policy, to White House chief of staff. Hispanic voters who backed Trump in 2022 turned against him in the November 3 elections, citing unmet price promises and indiscriminate enforcement. Vice President J.D. Vance, attributing the loss mainly to the Iran war, said he is "open" to modifying enforcement practices, such as targeting businesses that hire undocumented workers.
