- The article links aggressive tactics to lost Republican support.
- Stephen Miller’s appointment raises questions about a policy shift.

## Summary

Donald Trump has acknowledged that his deportation campaign was too aggressive, conceding that enforcement reached people with jobs whose only offence was entering the country illegally. The article argues that this approach has damaged Republicans politically and says the president’s team will need to show more flexibility if it hopes to regain support.

It contrasts Trump’s earlier focus on removing the “worst of the worst” with raids, high deportation quotas and other enforcement excesses. It says Latino support for Republicans in House races fell to 33% this year, from more than 40% in 2024, while noting that Stephen Miller, a deportation hardliner, has been named chief of staff. The piece presents compromise on immigration as a possible path forward, while criticising maximalist demands from both parties.
