Trump makes ‘remarkable admission’ on his immigration policy

0 November 9, 2026 12:42

President Donald Trump, in an interview with “60 Minutes” that aired Sunday evening, assessed why Republicans fared so poorly in last week’s elections, Trump named Iran and bad messaging as the primary culprits.

But he also acknowledged that his administration’s crackdown on immigration that saw thousands of undocumented migrants arrested and deported was unpopular, and in his view went too far.

CNN’s Alayna Treene reports from the White House and CNN political analyst Zolan Kanno-Youngs, Republican strategist David Urban and former Clinton White House press secretary Joe Lockhart share their takes on Trump’s immigration policy admission.

Also, CNN’s Audie Cornish and her CNN This Morning "group chat" discuss Trump’s remarks about who Republicans should put forward to run for his office in 2028.
