Stephen Miller Claims Minnesota Authorities Ordered To ‘Stand Down And Surrender’ Amid Ongoing ICE Protests
HuffPost
The White House deputy chief of staff's bizarre claim came after a New York Post columnist wrote that “local cops have gone AWOL."
White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller alleged in a late-night social media post that local and state police in Minneapolis have been ordered to “stand down and surrender” to federal authorities.
“Only federal officers are upholding the law. Local and state police have been ordered to stand down and surrender,” Miller wrote in a Jan. 18 X post.
The bizarre statement came in response to an X post earlier that day from New York Post columnist Miranda Devine, who wrote that “local cops have gone AWOL” amid ongoing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) protests.
Miller’s post notably does not acknowledge that under the 10th Amendment in the U.S. constitution, federal authorities do not have the power to command local law enforcement.
