US President Admits Deportation Policy 'Too Tough'
United States President Donald Trump has acknowledged that his administration's mass deportation campaign against undocumented immigrants may have been excessively harsh.
In an interview with CBS's 60 Minutes, Trump stated, "I think it was too tough…I think it might be too tough." The excerpt from the interview was shared by CBS on their official account.
The interview was conducted after the Republican Party suffered a major setback in the midterm elections.
While Trump's efforts to strengthen security along the southern US border have garnered support from some sectors of the population, his administration's aggressive campaign to deport millions of undocumented migrants has faced widespread condemnation.
Despite the criticism and the party's election losses, Trump appointed Stephen Miller, a key architect of his hardline immigration policy, as his chief of staff on Friday. Miller has been closely associated with the administration's controversial immigration crackdown, particularly the actions of masked federal immigration agents.
Additionally, Miller faced backlash after defending the federal agents involved in the fatal shootings of two American citizens earlier this year.
