President Donald Trump, in his first major interview since his party lost control of the House and Senate in the midterm elections, said he thinks his administration was too aggressive on deportations and that he thinks he can work with Democrats in the new Congress on some kind of immigration deal.

Trump said his deportation policy was part of the reason Republicans lost, telling CBS’s “60 Minutes” in an interview that aired on Sunday: “I think it might be too tough, yeah.”

100%

I forget the guy's name, but ICE's old head loved walking around in a coat that made him look like the spitting image of an SS officer. There wasn't any attempt whatsoever to hide what they were doing, but unfortunately they hired a bunch of fat stupid people who couldn't make a police academy or get through basic training.

For all the terror they spread in those few months, they also made themselves look absolutely fucking ridiculous.

    You probably mean Bovino, although he wasn't head of ICE, he was a "commander at large" at the Border Patrol, a made up role and title.

    Fun fact, ICE has not had a properly confirmed director since 2017, it has been a revolving door of acting directors since then..
