Team,

There are a lot of dangerous people serving in the Trump Administration. MAGA loyalists who will put Donald Trump’s needs above our country’s.

But no one is worse than Stephen Miller, an unelected white nationalist who has accumulated an immense amount of power in the Trump administration.

Stephen Miller has been a bigot for his whole career — working on anti-immigration legislation and supporting right-wing hate groups before becoming a part of Donald Trump’s first presidential campaign.

He’s the architect of some of the worst and most hateful policies of the Trump Administration.

 Some of the people closest to the president, like Steve Bannon, refer to Stephen Miller as the Prime Minister. Others, like Kevin McCarthy, call him Trump's brain.

Regardless of his nicknames, he has had a significant influence on Donald Trump in the most draconian of ways. In just the first Trump administration:

You can credit Miller with the Muslim travel ban.
You can credit him with the family separation policy that took kids away from their parents and put them in cages.
You can credit him with trying to do away with DACA.

After Trump lost the 2020 election, Stephen Miller filed lawsuits trying to overturn the election result. And for Trump 2.0, Stephen Miller has somehow become even more extreme.

He’s drafting Trump’s immigration policies. He’s “protecting his friends and going after the bad guys,” in his own words. And in his world, his friends are people who look like him — straight, white men. Anyone else — women, members of the LGBTQ+ community, Black Americans, Latinos, and beyond — well, sorry, but Stephen Miller doesn’t care about your rights and freedoms.

The latest, and perhaps most egregious, of Miller’s policies is his effort to invoke the Insurrection Act. This would allow  the President to order the military to basically police our streets — arresting people, enforcing the law, basically putting us under martial law.

We cannot let Stephen Miller continue with this vile agenda.

We have to continue and intensify what we've been doing — not just here in Congress as we fight to overhaul ICE.  

We need to protest, support our neighbors, and capture the administration’s lawlessness on video to show the country and the world what’s happening. And we must demand accountability.

And come November, after the elections, there needs to be accountability.

Thanks for reading this long email about Trump’s bigot-in-chief. We have to know who is calling the shots behind the scenes and, more importantly, do all we can to stop him.

More soon,

Adam
