Calling his line of questioning “dumb,” White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller lashed out at a television journalist on Monday while claiming non-white Americans who’ve been caught up in Immigration and Customs Enforcement dragnets are perfectly fine with the Trump administration’s tactics in places like Chicago.
Miller was speaking to CNN anchor Boris Sanchez on the network’s CNN Newsroom program when Sanchez noted that Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has criticized the Trump administration’s recent use of federal resources to conduct nighttime raids and roving patrols in Chicago by suggesting that ICE officers are racially profiling and targeting Black and brown people for detention and possible arrest.
