唐纳德·特朗普总统告诉NBC新闻，他知道他的政府可以在移民问题上采取“更温和的态度”。
特朗普表示，是他下令从明尼苏达州抽调700名联邦特工，并声称政府已经看到了地方官员的更多合作。
这一举动是在亚历克斯·普莱蒂被联邦特工枪杀近两周之后做出的。特朗普被问及他从明尼阿波利斯的行动中学到了什么。
“我知道，也许我们可以使用一点点更柔和的方式，但你仍然必须强硬，”特朗普回应道，并声称，“我们正在与真正强硬的罪犯打交道。”
Trump on immigration 'We can use a little bit of a softer touch'
President Donald Trump told NBC News that he learned his administration could use a "softer touch" on immigration.
Trump said he was the one who ordered the 700 federal agents to be drawn down from Minnesota, claiming the administration has seen more cooperation from local officials.

The move came nearly two weeks following the shooting death of Alex Pretti by federal agents. Trump was asked what he learned from the operations in Minneapolis.
"I learned that maybe we can use a little bit of a softer touch, but you still have to be tough," Trump responded, alleging, "We're dealing with really hard criminals."
