Quick Summary

US President Donald Trump conceded that his aggressive deportation policies may have been too tough following heavy Republican losses in the midterm elections. This shift comes amid Asian-American opposition to indiscriminate ICE raids under his administration. However, analysts are skeptical about whether this signals a change in actual policy, especially considering Democrats now control both chambers of Congress due to widespread voter anger over economic issues and the Iran war.
