Trump admits ICE crackdown was too harsh, hints at reform
President Donald Trump said the administration's deportation policy had been overly harsh and expressed willingness to negotiate immigration reforms with the new Democratic majority, as Stephen Miller began his tenure as White House chief of staff. Earlier, Trump told NBC's "60 Minutes" that the crackdown had hurt Republican prospects in the recent midterm elections and signaled openness to immigration reform with Democrats. U.
S. officials told CBS News that ICE would likely maintain heightened enforcement despite Democratic gains in Congress, citing Miller's promotion.
