Evil Stephen Miller Pushiing Plan for Mass Immigrant Raids

The Trump administration wanted to carry out “a blitz operation” to sweep up and arrest as many as 10,000 immigrant parents and children across 10 cities, The Washington Post reports, in a depraved display of state force designed to terrorize immigrant communities.

In a shock to no one, among the loudest voices pushing the plan was White House aide and white supremacist Stephen Miller.

It was Miller who led the recent purge of top DHS officials, including two who objected to the mass arrests, former Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and former acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Ronald Vitiello. But don’t give those two any credit for being decent human beings. Nielsen and Vitiello reportedly objected to the mass arrests not because rounding up families at gunpoint is a tactic straight out of Nazi Germany, but because of logistics and fear of “public outrage,” sources told WAPO.

Vitiello and Nielsen’s pushback was reportedly a factor in Trump’s decision to oust both officials.  But while the plan did not go forward at that time, it’s unclear whether it’s dead. Then-Deputy ICE Director Matthew Albence joined Miller in supporting the mass arrests. Albence, who once compared migrant family jails to summer camp, is now serving as acting ICE director as the Senate considers Mark Morgan to permanently lead the agency
