President Trump defended his administration’s ICE raids and argued “they haven’t gone far enough” in a “60 Minutes” interview that airs Sunday night – his first sitdown with CBS News since suing the network.
Trump was quick to defend his immigration crackdown after CBS News anchor Norah O’Donnell asked if he felt “some of these raids” have gone too far.
“No. I think they haven’t gone far enough because we’ve been held back…by the liberal judges that were put in by Biden and by Obama,” Trump responded, according to a preview of the interview.
“Americans have been watching videos of ICE tackling a young mother, tear gas being used in a Chicago residential neighborhood, and the smashing of car windows,” O’Donnell said during the sitdown that was filmed Friday at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
“You’re okay with those tactics?” O’Donnell then asked.
“Yeah, because you have to get the people out,” Trump exclaimed.
The “60 Minutes” interview comes just weeks after Bari Weiss took the helm as Editor-in-Chief of the network.
The sitdown comes only months after Paramount paid Trump $16 million to settle his lawsuit alleging the Harris interview was deceptively edited to benefit his opponent during the 2024 campaign
