White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller delivered a fiery statement on immigration policy, asserting that the president’s obligation to stop an invasion cannot be blocked by the courts. He said the country has been overwhelmed and that it is the role of the executive branch to bring order back to the border.
Miller described what has happened over the past four years not as policy failure, but as occupation. He said entire towns have been overtaken and communities subjugated by illegal border crossers and cartel influence.
The fundamental error in how immigration is being discussed in the courts and media is pretending that what happened to us over the last four years is a routine civil enforcement matter.
NO.
We were invaded and occupied. Entire neighborhoods were conquered.
Entire towns were…

He rejected the idea that the situation is a civil enforcement issue. According to Miller, that kind of thinking is what has allowed the invasion to reach its current level.
He said the 2024 election was a moment of national decision. Americans chose to fight back and restore the country’s sovereignty by putting Trump back in the White House. Miller said this vote must not be ignored.
Judges who are now demanding individual hearings for illegal immigrants are, according to Miller, making it impossible to carry out the will of the voters. He said this would only result in continued failure and national decline.
Miller pointed directly to Article 4, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution. He said it clearly outlines the president’s responsibility to repel invasions and that no judge has the power to override that duty.
He said removals will go forward and that the cartels responsible for the crisis will be dismantled completely.
