Trump admits immigration expulsion policy was 'too harsh' in CBS interview

ici.radio-canada.ca (French) — November 8, 2026 at 11:01 PM UTC

President Trump admitted his administration's immigration expulsion policy was "too harsh" in excerpts of a CBS interview released Saturday, without specifying whether he plans to change the approach. The concession comes two days after Trump promoted hardline adviser Stephen Miller, a key architect of mass deportations, to White House chief of staff. Hispanic voters, who helped elect Trump, turned against Republicans in Tuesday's midterms over deportation tactics and unfulfilled price promises. Vice President JD Vance, attributing Republican losses mainly to the Iran war, expressed openness to modifying immigration enforcement, suggesting targeting employers who hire undocumented workers instead.
