President Donald Trump said in a CBS "60 Minutes" interview aired Sunday that his administration's deportation policy "might have been too tough" and indicated openness to negotiating an immigration deal with Democrats following Republican losses in midterm elections that cost the party control of the House and Senate. Trump attributed the aggressive deportation approach partly to GOP election losses. Stephen Miller, a key architect of Trump's immigration policies, has assumed the role of chief of staff.
The comments represent a potential shift in Trump's hardline immigration stance, though specifics of any proposed Democratic deal remain unclear. Trump's acknowledgment comes as the new Congress prepares to convene with Democratic control of the chamber.
