Trump admits mass deportation policy was 'too tough' after midterm losses

President Donald Trump said his mass deportation of undocumented immigrants was "too tough," according to an excerpt of a CBS interview aired Sunday. The admission follows the Republican Party's heavy loss in Tuesday's midterm elections. In the "60 Minutes" interview, recorded after the election loss, Trump told CBS: "I think it was too tough…I think it might be too tough." His administration's aggressive deportation push has drawn widespread criticism despite some domestic support for securing the southern border. On Friday, Trump appointed Stephen Miller, the architect of the hardline policy, as his chief of staff, signaling a fightback after the election defeat. Miller has faced scrutiny over federal agents who shot and killed two Americans early this year.
