Stephen Miller Torched Over ‘Utterly Chilling’ Message To ICE Officers
HuffPost
Critics slammed the top Trump official's remarks as a "greenlight for abuse."
White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller drew sharp condemnation Tuesday over a message he sent to Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers during an interview with Fox News host Will Cain.
Miller asserted that ICE agents have “federal immunity in the conduct of your duties” and declared that anyone who touches or obstructs them is “committing a felony.”
Legal experts and commentators pushed back on social media, stressing that prosecuting federal agents is possible, even if it’s often difficult, as a recent HuffPost report explained.
Other critics called Miller’s overall tone “utterly chilling” and a “greenlight for abuse” that amounted to declaring “open season” for ICE agents “on immigrants AND citizens alike” and encouraged officers to “go and spread violence and terror.”
Miller’s remarks came amid heightened scrutiny of ICE following the killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis.
