Trump says deportation policy was 'too tough' and hurt GOP in midterms

President Donald Trump acknowledged in a "60 Minutes" interview that his administration's deportation policies were "too tough" and hurt Republicans in the midterm elections. Trump said the backlash stemmed from deporting immigrants with "good jobs," though he defended border security efforts and removing "bad ones." He expressed openness to working with Democrats on immigration reform, including potential paths for long-term immigrants. The admission came as Trump elevated Stephen Miller, a key policy architect, to replace Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. Trump cited immigrants working as maids, waitresses, and landscapers as examples of those affected, and said he could avoid insulting Democrats to pursue a deal.
