Trump admits his deportation policy was “too harsh” after Republican defeat

U.S. President Donald Trump, admitted in an interview this Sunday that his mass deportation policy for immigrants was "too harsh," a few days after his Republican party's defeat in the midterm legislative elections.

"I think it was too harsh," the president replied when asked on the CBS network about his immigrant deportation policy, according to excerpts released by the media outlet on social networks.

Although Trump has gained some support for strengthening security on the southern border of the United States, his administration's offensive to deport millions of undocumented migrants has generated widespread criticism.

However, on Friday, Trump appointed the architect of that hardline policy, Stephen Miller, as his chief of staff, which is seen as a counteroffensive following the Republican defeat.

Miller has become synonymous with scenes of masked immigration agents committing acts of violence, after he backed federal agents who shot and killed two Americans earlier this year.
