President Donald Trump has a long list of horrendous, disgraceful, despicable people around him in his second term Cabinet and elsewhere.
But if one had to choose one individual who could be considered “the worst of the worst”, using the language employed about immigrants being pursued by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), it would be Stephen Miller, the White House Deputy Chief Of Staff For Policy and Homeland Security Adviser, an extremely polarizing figure.
Miller, who is of Jewish heritage, and whose family ancestors came to America in the 20th century to escape the Czar of Russia and pogroms, is a clear cut white supremacist bigot, an avowed racist, who even in high school, railed against Latino fellow students and others of racial background other than white Caucasians.
Many see Stephen Miller as Trump’s “Brain”, and some call him “Prime Minister”, and Miller is a major speech writer of what Trump utters regarding his hateful intentions as President, to deport millions of immigrants, not just the lawless and criminal elements.
In the first term of Trump, Miller was responsible for the Muslim travel ban; the family separation policy that took kids aways from their parents without concern for their emotional health; and trying to do away totally with DACA (Deferred Action For Childhood Arrivals), a program initiated during the Barack Obama Administration. He also has supervised the writing of Trump’s Inaugural Addresses and his State of the Union speeches, so has had a tremendous, but deleterious, influence on Donald Trump over the past decade.
Miller has no concern about the rights and freedoms of women, gay and transgender Americans, Latinos, Black Americans, Asian Americans, and Muslims, as he pursues the goal of 3,000 people being readied for deportation on a daily basis, an insane and outrageous abuse of power.
The Southern Poverty Law Center placed Miller on their database of extremists in 2020.
Miller has encouraged Donald Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act, which would permit the military to police our streets, creating martial law conditions.
What has occurred tragically in Minnesota in the past two months is just a sign of what Miller would wish to accomplish nationally.
Hopefully, at some point in the future, Stephen Miller can be held accountable by the law for his transgressions and illegal, unconstitutional policies and actions!
