> Donald Trump acknowledged that some voters were unhappy with his administration’s controversial deportation drive and said it may have hurt Republicans in last week’s midterm elections. He said he could seek an immigration deal with the new Democratic-controlled Congress that would deport criminals but let “good people” stay. Chuck Schumer criticized Trump for placing Stephen Miller, an architect of the policy, in charge of the White House.
