Story summary

In an interview with CBS's "60 Minutes" on November 8, 2026, President Trump acknowledged that his administration's tough deportation policies may have been "too tough," potentially hurting the Republican Party in recent midterm elections. Trump expressed willingness to negotiate with Democrats on immigration, suggesting some illegal immigrants could receive legal status under certain conditions. He emphasized that while he received high marks for securing the border and deporting criminals, a significant portion of the public wants non-criminal undocumented workers to stay if they have good jobs or are paying taxes. This change in stance comes after Republicans suffered losses across various states during the midterms, particularly among Hispanic voters.
