White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller made a controversial claim that local and state police in Minneapolis have been ordered to “stand down and surrender” to federal agents. This statement, which contradicts the established legal limitations of federal authority over local law enforcement, seemed to be setting the stage for President Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act. The context behind the claim was heightened tensions and protests following the shooting death of a U.S. citizen by ICE agents in Minneapolis and the state’s governor’s encouragement of citizens to document ICE agent abuses. Miller also accused Minnesota state officials of “an insurgency against the federal government,” further escalating the rhetoric.

Stephen Miller’s message to ICE agents on Fox News, which the Department of Homeland Security shared, asserted that they have “federal immunity.” Legal experts quickly refuted this claim, emphasizing that no such blanket immunity exists for criminal behavior and that states can hold federal officers accountable.

The legal experts’ concerns were underscored by the fact that Miller is not a lawyer.

During a CNN interview, White House advisor Stephen Miller articulated the Trump administration’s stance on foreign policy, asserting the United States’ right to take control of other nations for its interests, particularly concerning resources. Miller’s comments, which included the view that sovereign countries do not have sovereignty if the US wants their resources, were described as “imperialistic” by Senator Bernie Sanders. The administration has set its sights on Venezuela’s oil reserves and Greenland’s untapped resources, even though Greenland is part of Denmark, a NATO ally. Danish and Greenlandic officials have strongly condemned Trump’s threats, with the Danish Prime Minister warning that an attack on another NATO country would end the alliance.

It’s clear, isn’t it? The assertion that the United States has the right to take Greenland is more than just a passing remark; it’s a chilling echo of historical ideologies and a stark warning about the current direction of certain political figures.
