In President Trump's first sit-down interview since the midterm elections, 60 Minutes found him reflective and seemingly accepting of his party's midterm election defeat. Watch the interview tonight at 7 p.m. ET/PT on CBS. pic.twitter.com/pb3XMeu8L1

Trump endorses an amnesty deal with Democrats, saying immigration maximalists are on the “pretty far right” and suggesting that illegals who have been in the US for 10-15 years should have an opportunity to stay.

Trump may give them amnesty…….he never pushed mass deportations.
We are watching the destruction of America.— rapturesoon (@rapturenearing) November 8, 2026
Trump spent years promising mass deportations. Now, after Republicans’ midterm losses, he tells 60 Minutes his immigration crackdown may have gone too far and suggests some illegal immigrants who work and pay taxes could receive legal status. This isn’t the first time he’s tested that idea. In July 2025, he floated protections for illegal immigrant farm and hospitality workers, triggering backlash from his own supporters. But there’s a contradiction: Trump has now promoted Stephen Miller, the architect of his mass deportation campaign, to White House chief of staff. No mass amnesty has been announced, and the deportation machinery remains in place. Trump is sending 2 very different messages to 2 groups he needs.
Every illegal not deported will be given amnesty. Deportations are the number one and only priority.

He’s working towards mass amnesty with the democrats. A deal to protect himself no doubt

If President Trump softens on immigration enforcement, it will be a disaster:
60 Minutes: "So you think your deportation policy went too far?
President Trump: "I think it was too tough."
60 Minutes: "It was too tough?"
President Trump "I think it might be too tough, yeah." pic.twitter.com/L44SDmrS1T
