Trump Admits Deportation Policy Was 'Too Tough'

President Donald Trump admitted his mass deportation policy was "too tough" in a CBS interview aired Sunday, days after his Republican Party's midterm election defeat. He made the remark when directly questioned about his immigration approach. The interview excerpts were released on X before broadcast, following the Republicans' loss last Tuesday. While Trump gained some domestic support for border security, his aggressive deportation of millions of undocumented migrants has drawn widespread criticism. On Friday, Trump appointed Stephen Miller, the policy's architect, as chief of staff, signaling a hardline counteroffensive. Miller has been linked to violent incidents involving hooded immigration agents, including a shooting that killed two American citizens earlier this year.
