Stephen Moore, an outside economic adviser to Donald Trump, said the administration’s handling of ICE raids and deportations became a real political liability that voters punished this week. Moore argued officials should have focused enforcement on criminals, gang members and “undesirables” rather than raiding factories and similar workplaces. His comments, relayed by Nick Timiraos, point to immigration enforcement as a flashpoint in the coalition’s recent electoral setback. The remarks matter because they signal possible pressure to narrow deportation targets toward higher-priority cases. What to watch next is whether the White House adjusts raid tactics and messaging in response to the backlash.
