Trump calls mass deportations 'maybe a little too harsh'

di.se (Swedish) —

President Donald Trump said in a TV interview that his administration's mass deportations of undocumented migrants were "maybe a little too harsh," marking a rare self-criticism after his party's November 3 election losses. In a preview clip from CBS's "60 Minutes," Trump acknowledged the operations by immigration police ICE were "too heavy-handed," following criticism over excessive force and the deaths of two U.S. citizens during interventions. He had previously defended the policies, and the full interview airs Monday Swedish time. The comments come as Trump replaced chief of staff Susie Wiles with immigration hawk Stephen Miller on Friday, raising concerns about stricter policies. He has also posted unsubstantiated claims of Democratic voter fraud on Truth Social over the weekend.
