President Trump has voiced his dissatisfaction with the recent wave of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids, saying they "haven't gone far enough" in his view. As part of a sweeping crackdown on immigration, ICE agents have carried out raids across various US neighborhoods, resulting in dramatic scenes such as a mother being tackled by an agent and tear gas being used in a Chicago residential area.
The president claims that the pace of these operations has been hampered by liberal judges appointed under the Biden and Obama administrations. He acknowledged the use of aggressive tactics employed by ICE agents, which he believes are necessary to apprehend those who should be removed from the country.
This marks Trump's first televised interview in five years, following a settlement with CBS parent company Paramount regarding an earlier conversation with then-Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris. In his conversation with 60 Minutes host Norah O'Donnell, Trump also discussed China, Venezuela, the ongoing US government shutdown and his views on the upcoming 2028 presidential election.
The exclusive interview airs Sunday at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT on the CBS Television Network and Paramount+.

like, we need to find a better way to deal with immigration issues that don't involve tear gas & aggressive tactics. and btw, i don't think liberal judges are the problem here, it's more about finding common ground & working together 
we need more of those kinds of conversations, not just a bunch of raids & fear-mongering 
. I mean, a mom being tackled by an agent in front of her kid's eyes is just unacceptable 
. The president's all about "tough love" but when does that stop being just a PR stunt? 
I'm not buying the whole liberal judges thing either - if that was really holding back ICE, wouldn't some conservative judges have done the same by now? 
It's time for some real change and respect for human rights. We need to start treating everyone with dignity, regardless of their immigration status 
.
also, can we please stop with the liberal judges thing? it sounds so partisan lol. what about people who just wanna be treated fairly? 
Like, I get it, immigration's a complex issue, but these raids are just causing so much harm 
It's just heartbreaking.
It's not exactly the most inspiring leadership strategy.
... i wish we could have more conversations like this with our leaders about these complex issues, where they don't just talk trash about other politicians but actually work together to find solutions 
. It's like they're using tear gas in residential areas... what's up with that?! 
. Trump saying they haven't gone far enough is wild 
#ImmigrationReformNow #FairAndJustSystem
. I mean, I get that we have to protect our borders, but using tear gas and tackling a mom who's just trying to protect her kids? That's not enforcement, that's a hostage situation 
i dunno, maybe trump just wants more power or something... but it feels like hes using these raids as a way to control the narrative and distract us from other stuff that's gonna come out of his administration
