Democrats won major gains in the midterm elections on Tuesday, with immigration a central issue for voters. Following the results, Democrats have pledged to limit ICE's power, but the agency still has substantial funding. NPR reported that the question now is what Democrats can realistically accomplish on ICE, given the agency's existing money and the limits of their new position. PBS NewsHour reported that Trump said his deportation policy 'might have been too tough' for midterm voters, and that he thinks he can work with Democrats in the new Congress on some kind of immigration deal. No specific deal has been announced, so Democrats' ICE funding plans and any Trump-backed compromise remain unresolved.
