President Donald Trump said his administration’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids haven’t gone “far enough” — blasting “liberal judges” for blocking tougher action.
In a fiery 60 Minutes interview aired Sunday, Trump defended his hardline immigration crackdown and shrugged off criticism about ICE tactics.
“I think they haven’t gone far enough because we’ve been held back by the judges, by the liberal judges that were put in by Biden and by Obama,” Trump told CBS’s Norah O’Donnell.
The president said federal judges have stymied efforts to deport suspected Venezuelan gang members under the Alien Enemies Act and to fast-track removals.
The Trump administration’s ICE raids in major cities have triggered chaos — including riots in Los Angeles County over the summer — and fresh protests in Chicago in recent weeks.
Pressed on the crackdown, Trump doubled down.
“You have to get the people out. You know, you have to look at the people. Many of them are murderers. Many of them are people who were thrown out of their countries because they were, you know, criminals,” he said.
“Many of them are people from jails and prisons. Many of them are people from, frankly, mental institutions. I feel bad about that, but they’re released from insane asylums. You know why? Because they’re killers.”
Trump said more than 11,000 illegal immigrant murderers have been released into the country — and that over half have killed multiple people.
He insisted ICE is targeting the “bad ones” — and vowed the mission isn’t over.
