Demand the Resignation of Stephen Miller

The recent high-profile killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti have rightly drawn attention to the threat that high-profile White House aide and enthusiastic white supremacist Stephen Miller poses to the United States. Miller has been a driving force behind implementation of Donald Trump’s deadly racist and anti-immigrant policies since the first Trump administration. Miller is the architect behind the despicable separation of detained immigrant families and the cancellation of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. He has orchestrated the continued escalation of ICE detention and deportation campaigns, called for the unconstitutional elimination of due process rights for undocumented people, and enthusiastically spread lies about both immigrants and US citizens victimized by ICE’s indiscriminate violence. Outside of the domestic sphere, Miller has advanced a nakedly imperialist approach to foreign policy, from leading extrajudicial drone strikes on Venezuelan boats to calling for the use of military force to seize Greenland.

Stephen Miller is not an elected official or the leader of an agency like the Department of Homeland Security. However, he enjoys terrifyingly outsize influence over the Trump administration and is a catalyst for the acceleration of outright fascism in our country. Members of Congress must demand his immediate resignation.
