Donald Trump said his policy of mass deportations of undocumented migrants was “too tough” during an interview with CBS on the programme “60 Minutes”. An excerpt of the interview, recorded after the Republicans' heavy defeat in the US midterm elections, was broadcast by CBS on Sunday.
Donald Trump also appointed Stephen Miller, the architect of his restrictive immigration policy, as White House chief of staff on Friday. Miller had defended the use of federal immigration agents, some of whom were involved in the shooting deaths of two Americans at the beginning of the year, according to Vanguard.
The interview comes after the 5 November midterm elections, won by the Democrats, which weakened the Republican Party in Congress. Donald Trump had already appointed Stephen Miller as chief of staff on 6 November, amid a reorganisation of his administration after the election. Trump's defeat was also presented as a factor in changes to his foreign policy.
