Stephen Miller Retreats in Humiliation After Deadly Misstep
The Daily Beast • • nation
Key Points:
- Stephen Miller, the key architect behind Donald Trump's strict immigration policies, has significantly reduced his public appearances following a controversial immigration crackdown that led to the deaths of two American citizens in Minnesota.
- Since the incident on January 24, Miller's appearances on Fox News have notably decreased, signaling a more low-profile approach despite ongoing national criticism and his unpopularity in recent polls.
- Despite public backlash, Miller continues to play a central role in shaping new zero-tolerance immigration policies within the Trump administration, maintaining his position as a trusted adviser to the president.
- Miller has faced particular outrage for his characterization of Alex Pretti, one of the deceased, as a “would-be assassin,” a claim contradicted by video evidence of the incident.
- Currently, Miller is focused on tightening restrictions on undocumented immigrants' access to public housing and benefits, as well as targeting individuals with refugee status.
