In his first major interview since the 2024 mid‑term elections, former President Donald Trump admitted that the administration’s deportation policy was “too aggressive.” The comments were made after the Republican Party lost control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Trump said he believes the hard‑line approach to deportations may have contributed to the party’s electoral losses. He also expressed a willingness to collaborate with Democrats in the new Congress on a revised immigration deal.
He noted that the new legislative majority could provide an opportunity for bipartisan solutions to the country’s immigration challenges, though he did not outline specific proposals in the interview.
Trump’s remarks come as the incoming Congress prepares to address a range of policy issues, including immigration reform, that had been a central focus of the former president’s tenure.
While the interview did not provide further details, it signals a potential shift in the former president’s stance on deportation policy and a readiness to engage across party lines on immigration matters.
