US President Donald Trump's mass deportation drive targeted various communities, including Asian-Americans, ahead of heavy Republican midterm losses.

Font size

US President Donald Trump has conceded that his mass deportation drive may have been “too tough” after his Republican Party’s heavy losses in the midterm elections, but analysts doubt the remark signals a change of policy.

Asian-Americans, who were among the communities heavily targeted in the immigration crackdown, swung sharply towards the Democrats on November 3.

Trump made the comment in an interview with CBS’ 60 Minutes programme, recorded after the vote. Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress, riding a wave of anger over the economy and higher prices linked to the unpopular war with Iran.

Open Questions

  • Will Democrats successfully rein in ICE?
  • Will Trump change immigration enforcement policies?
