Stephen Miller’s comments regarding reports of Elon Musk’s drug use highlight a stark hypocrisy often seen in discussions surrounding drug policy. His expressed concern focuses solely on drugs crossing the southern border, conveniently ignoring the potential implications of high-profile individuals’ drug use within the country. This selective outrage begs the question: is the concern genuinely about the drugs themselves, or is it a thinly veiled expression of xenophobia?
The statement that “we’re worried about drugs crossing the border” feels disingenuous when considered alongside the lack of similar concern shown towards high-profile drug use within the United States. The implication is that the source of the drugs is the primary issue, rather than the drugs themselves.… Continue reading

High-profile figures drastically inflate the number of undocumented immigrants in the U.S., despite the actual figure being around 11 million. Studies show undocumented immigrants have lower crime rates than U.S.-born citizens and legal immigrants. The Trump administration’s attempts at mass deportations have fallen far short of stated goals, leading to frustration and pressure on ICE agents to increase arrests. This has resulted in the targeting of low-hanging fruit and the dissemination of misinformation about the criminality of deported individuals.

Stephen Miller, a known immigration hardliner, berated Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials for insufficient deportations during a May 21 meeting. He demanded a tripling of arrests, reportedly threatening the jobs of those who failed to comply. This occurred despite the current administration’s deportation rate mirroring that of the Biden administration, falling short of Trump’s campaign promises. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, also present, adopted a more conciliatory approach.

The New York Times reports that Attorney General Pam Bondi’s tenure is characterized by a significant departure from the traditional independence of the Department of Justice. Instead, the White House, particularly Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, is alleged to be directing the department’s agenda, with Bondi acting primarily as a messenger executing White House directives. This has led to criticism from both sides of the political spectrum, with some questioning her effectiveness and others defending her actions as necessary to counter a perceived “liberal” workforce. Bondi’s frequent appearances on Fox News, while boosting her profile, have also drawn criticism for prioritizing media appearances over departmental duties. Ultimately, her performance as Attorney General is viewed as highly performative and subservient to the White House.

Stephen Miller’s past criticisms of government intervention in drug pricing, including referring to such policies as “communist” and labeling Kamala Harris as “Comrade Kamala,” have resurfaced following President Trump’s executive order implementing “Most Favored Nation” pricing. This policy, which aims to drastically lower prescription drug costs by referencing prices in other countries, directly contradicts Miller’s previously stated positions. Miller’s silence on the order is notable given his outspoken opposition to similar Democratic proposals. The stark contrast highlights the inherent irony of the Trump administration’s expansion of government influence in the pharmaceutical sector.

Rep. Matt Gaetz, during a July 2024 visit to El Salvador’s notorious mega-prison, CECOT, proposed using the facility to house migrants to Stephen Miller, a top Trump advisor. This suggestion, subsequently relayed to Trump, involved a deal brokered by the State Department with El Salvador’s President Bukele, despite human rights concerns surrounding CECOT. Trump expressed support for the plan, even suggesting the imprisonment of U.S. citizens in CECOT. The plan’s implementation has already resulted in the deportation of individuals to the prison, prompting legal challenges and sparking outrage.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller stated the Trump administration is considering suspending habeas corpus to circumvent judicial blocks on deportations. Miller cited the Constitution’s provision allowing suspension during invasion, arguing that court overreach in cases like the blocking of Venezuelan TPS terminations necessitates this action. He contends that courts are undermining the executive and legislative branches, citing recent Supreme Court rulings on deportation and habeas corpus challenges as evidence. The administration views the suspension of habeas corpus as a potential solution to these perceived judicial obstacles.

White House advisor Stephen Miller confirmed the administration is considering suspending the writ of habeas corpus, citing the Constitution’s suspension clause applicable during invasion or rebellion. This aggressive action would escalate efforts to deport individuals without allowing legal challenges, mirroring past attempts to utilize the Alien Enemies Act. Federal judges have consistently rejected the administration’s “invasion” justification, emphasizing the clause’s requirement of a demonstrated threat to public safety. This move follows a pattern of defying court rulings against the administration’s deportation policies.
