President Donald Trump said some deportations went too far, pointing to cases involving people who were working in the United States and had no other violations. In a post-election interview reported by Serbian Times and Illyria, Trump also defended border enforcement.
His comments distinguished between enforcing the border and deciding how to handle individual cases inside the country. He singled out people who were employed when describing where enforcement had been too strict.
Trump also raised the possibility of reaching an agreement with Democrats. He gave no details about what an agreement might cover or when talks could take place.
What Trump’s Deportation Comments Mean for Immigrant Families
For immigrant families, including those in Balkan American communities, the immediate question is whether Trump’s comments will change how authorities handle deportation cases involving workers.
The interview included no announcement of a new policy, new eligibility criteria or a timetable for changes. It also left open how any future agreement might address people already facing deportation.
