Following the Republican Party's setbacks in the US midterm elections, President Donald Trump candidly acknowledged in a CBS 60 Minutes interview that his administration's second-term immigration policies and mass deportations were "too harsh."
Reflecting on the electoral fallout—where shifting Latino voter dynamics in states like Texas helped Democrats secure key congressional victories—Trump gave himself an "A plus" for securing the border, but admitted that deporting individuals with established jobs and clean records had political and human costs. "I feel bad about it, because we've taken many people out who had good jobs; their only violation was entering this country illegally," Trump told CBS.
