Trump signals shift on immigration enforcement

President Donald Trump signaled a major shift in immigration policy, suggesting for the first time that some illegal immigrants who have not committed additional crimes may be allowed to stay in the U.S., a stunning reversal from his administration's enforcement stance. Following a significant Democratic victory in the midterm elections, Trump acknowledged in a CBS News interview that his deportation policy "might be too tough." He proposed offering legal status to long-term residents without criminal records, while emphasizing continued removal of "killers," "rapists," and "drug dealers." The policy change has sparked backlash from immigration hardliners, who warn against amnesty. Trump later clarified there is "no amnesty," but his comments indicate a shift toward focusing enforcement on the "worst of the worst," potentially dividing his supporter base.
