Stephen Miller and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem reportedly played a good-cop, bad-cop routine in a tense staff meeting last week as president Donald Trump's polling sinks on a key issue.So, either Miller thinks:
Miller, the deputy White House chief of staff, berated immigration officials during the May 21 meeting at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) headquarters, four source familiar with the meeting told Axios, and demanded 3,000 arrests a day – which is triple the number that agents were making in the early days of Trump's presidency.
A) even more arrests and deportations in defiance of court orders will improve Trump’s polling on immigration; or
B) Miller wants to get as many non-white, non-native born
and just “undesirable” (to Miller) people out before the music stops.Even whiteness won’t save you from the ICE Gestapo under the Trump Regime. https://t.co/IEtahrAyzq

About 49,000 people are already in ICE custody, according to the latest government data, but Congress hasn't appropriated nearly enough money to accommodate that many detainees, so GOP lawmakers are trying to provide $147 billion in additional funds over the next 10 years – which has alarmed civil rights advocates.
I’d say Miller’s thinking is an admixture of both, and a little bit of neither.
