IMMIGRANTS: PRESIDENT MAY GO EASIER ON THEM BUT WON'T BACK DOWN

Trump's 'soft touch'

US President Donald Trump suggested a "softer touch" may be needed on immigration, as his administration said 700 federal officers would be pulled from Minnesota but that mass deportations would not stop.

The fatal shootings of two protesters by federal officers in Minneapolis last month sparked widespread outrage in the US and calls for an end to immigration raids in the Midwestern city, but Trump's administration has been reluctant to shift course.

"I learned that maybe we could use a little bit of a softer touch. But you still have to be tough," Trump said in an interview with NBC's Nightly News when asked what he had learned from Minneapolis.
