Trump Reconsiders Mass Deportation Crackdown After Republican Election Setback.
United States President Donald Trump has acknowledged that his administration may have adopted an overly harsh approach to the mass deportation of undocumented immigrants.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Trump made the remark during an interview with CBS’ 60 Minutes, where he was questioned about his administration’s policy of deporting millions of migrants living in the country without legal documentation, Naija News reports.
“I think it was too tough… I think it might be too tough,” the US president said.
CBS shared an excerpt of the interview on X on Sunday ahead of the programme’s full television broadcast later that day.
The interview was conducted following the Republican Party’s major defeat in Tuesday’s midterm elections.
While Trump has enjoyed support from some Americans for his efforts to tighten security along the US-Mexico border, his administration’s aggressive deportation campaign has attracted widespread criticism.
The policy, which targets millions of undocumented immigrants, has raised concerns about the treatment of migrants and the conduct of federal immigration officers.
Trump’s latest comments come amid growing pressure over his administration’s immigration crackdown following the Republicans’ poor performance in the midterm elections.
Despite the criticism, the president appointed Stephen Miller, a key architect of his hardline immigration agenda, as his chief of staff on Friday.
Miller’s appointment has been interpreted as an indication that Trump intends to maintain his tough stance on immigration despite the electoral setback.
Miller has also come under fire for defending federal immigration agents following reports of violence during enforcement operations.
The controversy intensified after federal agents shot and killed two Americans earlier this year, with Miller publicly backing the actions of immigration officers.

The actress announced their reconciliation during a TikTok live session on Saturday night, revealing that they had been communicating since February 2026.
However, Nkechi said she had made a public apology a condition for rebuilding their relationship, insisting that Falegan must take responsibility for some of the negative remarks he made about her during their past disagreement.
According to her, his previous comments have continued to resurface online, with some social media users recently using them to ridicule and attack her.
She said: “I told you in February that if we must do this, you have to apologize to me because what you said years ago, some irrelevant nitwits still used it to insult me yesterday. That is to tell you that the internet never forgets. Anything dey outside? Lie, is anything dey outside? I have gone back to square one. You people should watch me and my baby; we will work towards our wedding, my love.”
Falegan subsequently acknowledged his past actions and tendered an apology to the actress.
He said: “From the bottom of my heart to the depth of my soul, I’m sorry, Nkechi. That’s in the past.”
Celebrity barman and socialite, Cubana Chief Priest, has challenged the Minister of Works, David Umahi, to provide evidence of projects he has executed in the South-East region.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Chief Priest made the challenge in a video shared on social media, where he criticised the minister over the state of infrastructure in the region.
The socialite alleged that a bridge had stopped serving its intended purpose following work carried out on it under Umahi’s supervision.
He also accused the minister of promising votes for President Bola Tinubu without demonstrating sufficient development to convince residents of the region to support the President.
Chief Priest questioned what Umahi was relying on to persuade people in the South-East to vote for Tinubu. He also alleged that the minister was positioning his son to succeed Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru.
“Minister of Works, show us project wey you do for your region; our bridge is no longer bridging since you touched it. Let us go,” he said.
The socialite further criticised the alleged plan to position Umahi’s son for the governorship, arguing that political leadership should not be treated as a family affair.
He also questioned the level of development in Ebonyi State and the wider South-East, accusing the minister of failing to address the region’s challenges.
“Pharaoh, let our people go, honorable Minister of Works; Pharaoh, let the people of the Southeast go,” he added.
The Lagos State African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has explained why he would find it difficult to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC).....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Rhodes-Vivour made this known during an interview with Nollywood actress and television presenter Biola Adebayo.
The politician said he could not imagine himself joining the ruling party because he disagreed with several policies and actions of the APC-led government.
He argued that becoming a member of the APC would undermine his ability to implement the changes he hopes to bring to Lagos, particularly in the education sector and the management of public funds.
He said: “You are now angry that you don’t say I have to go to a party that has structure. Now join PDP. That has been the journey. That’s why you’ll never hear that Rhodes-Vivour went to APC.
“Everything that I do not like about this government is caused by the APC. If I were to join the APC, everything I intend to achieve for Lagosians, I will not be able to achieve because those monies are being siphoned to other people instead of going to the people of Lagos.
“I need capital. I need capital that will change the calculus and repair the education system. It is not about any big man or any godfather. It is about the people. That’s why I cannot join it.
“It would take a lot for me to join the APC. A lot of people would just not be alive anymore.
“People cannot get better because the thing that allows them to be the people they are, the thing that attracts people to them, is always about the interests of the people.
“Look at this example. I’m not sure if you read this week where they said that N10 billion has been assigned to fight Ebola. You saw that in the news. Later on, we all said Nigeria has no Ebola. Isn’t it great? But have you returned that N10 billion to use for something else? At the same time, you cannot return it, you are going to use it to fight other viruses. What virus?
“Now, Nigeria is not making enough money to pay off its loans, but the President is still writing to send to the Senate and now trying to borrow something billion. They have no plan of paying this money. He does not care how he is going to pay this money.”
