Donald Trump acknowledges that his mass deportation policies "went too far" (WSJ)

President Trump has asked his advisors to abandon the concept of "mass deportation" and to focus on the expulsion of immigrants with criminal records, according to anonymous sources.

This change in approach comes in the wake of criticism regarding the political impact of visible immigration operations in American cities. The decision coincides with changes in the leadership of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), following the departure of Kristi Noem, who was criticized for intensifying raids. Trump has proposed Senator Markwayne Mullin as her replacement, who promises better collaboration with local authorities.

Trump's immigration policy has been challenged after an operation in Minneapolis, which led to the deaths of two civilians. Additionally, DHS funding was suspended on February 14, creating a crisis within the agency.
