A CNN analyst was shocked on Wednesday after a new interview with President Donald Trump revealed that he acknowledged that his administration could change its approach to immigration.

Trump, whose administration has faced criticism over fatal ICE shootings of American citizens, detaining children, and unlawful activity, was interviewed by NBC News, appearing to admit mistakes amid the growing public backlash.

"I learned that maybe we can use a little bit of a softer touch, but you still have to be tough," Trump said. "These are criminals we're dealing with, really hard criminals. But look, I've called the people. I've called the governor. I've called the mayor, spoke to them, had great conversations with them. And then I see them ranting and raving out there. Literally, as though it wasn't made."

4. And the ICE guys are cowards who are NOT going after actual criminals, drug runners, and violent gangs.

Seems likely that local police departments would be happy to help them with locations where the real dangerous criminals hang out, but that's not what ICE wants to do. They do want local LEOs to protect them from righteously pissed off locals tho.

6. absolutely

NO ONE has a problem with apprehending actual criminal with due process - DECENT people don't like entire communities being terrorized because of RACISM.

2. He can't get people to do the housekeeping or grounds care at his courses

or his properties because under his policies being carried out by his toadies all the people he considers fit for that work are in his detention centers.
