Trump signals openness to immigration deal after deportations stance

President Donald Trump said in his first major interview since the midterm elections that his administration's deportation policy "might have been too tough" and contributed to Republican losses, while expressing openness to working with Democrats on an immigration deal. In a CBS "60 Minutes" interview aired Sunday, Trump said he believes an agreement with the new Democratic majority is "doable," though he offered no specifics. He reiterated support for deporting criminals but suggested allowing some immigrants to stay if they are "good people" working and paying taxes. Shortly after taping the interview Friday, Trump named Stephen Miller, the architect of his hard-line immigration agenda, as his new chief of staff. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer called the move "a promotion" rather than a course correction. Democrats plan to prioritize oversight of immigration agencies in the new Congress.
