Trump Defends ICE Raids, Says 'Haven't Gone Far Enough'

President Trump defended this year's aggressive ICE raids in a "60 Minutes" interview, saying they "haven't gone far enough" and blaming "liberal judges" appointed by Presidents Biden and Obama for restraining enforcement. Asked about footage showing agents tackling a mother, using tear gas in a Chicago neighborhood and smashing car windows, he said he was "okay" with those tactics because "you have to get the people out" and argued many targeted are murderers or criminals. He reiterated a policy favoring removal of those who entered the country illegally and said his administration is deporting people, while critics and CBS noted many arrestees have been nonviolent workers and family members. The raids have focused on so-called sanctuary cities like Chicago and New York and have prompted resistance from local Democratic officials and repeated legal challenges. The interview was previewed ahead of its Nov. 2 broadcast and is Trump's first "60 Minutes" sitdown since he sued CBS/Paramount over a 2024 Harris interview, a suit that was later settled.
