After defeat in the midterms, Trump admits that his mass deportation policy was too harsh

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, admitted in an interview this Sunday (8) that his policy of mass deportation of immigrants was "too harsh". He made the statement to CBS a few days after his Republican Party's defeat in the mid-term legislative elections.

"I think it was too harsh," the president responded when asked on the program "60 Minutes" about his policies towards immigrants, according to excerpts released by the broadcaster on social media.

While Trump has won some domestic support for reinforcing the United States' southern border, his administration's aggressive push to deport millions of undocumented immigrants has drawn widespread criticism.

However, on Friday (6), Trump appointed Stephen Miller —the creator of this hard-line policy—as his chief of staff, signaling a combative and unrelenting reaction after the Republicans' electoral defeat.

Miller became associated with episodes in which immigration agents, wearing masks, committed acts of violence; He even supported federal agents who, earlier this year, shot two Americans, killing them.

Democrats won 69% of Latino voters' votes for the Chamber of Deputies, an increase of 28 percentage points compared to 2024, according to projections by The New York Times. All racial groups, without exception, increased their support for the Democratic Party. None of them as expressively as the Latins.

In Texas, the second American state with the largest Latino population, behind California, 70% of this electorate supported the Democrats in the Senate race, an increase of 32 percentage points compared to 2024.
