Stephen Miller has set his sights on new targets to find undocumented migrants: Home Depot and 7-Eleven

Source: The Independent

Federal immigration officials have faced severe criticism from members of the Trump administration, displeased with the number of immigration arrests and deportations, according to the Washington Examiner. Late last month, a heated discussion arose between White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and several senior officials from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Trust between the parties is in a downward spiral as top staffers believe the administration is closely watching them regarding how they’re conducting their detentions of unlawful immigrants. Three current and former immigration officials spoke to the Examiner. “They’ve been threatened, told they’re watching their emails and texts and Signals,” one anonymous official said. “That’s what is horrible about things right now. It’s a fearful environment. Everybody in leadership is afraid. … There’s no morale. Everybody is demoralized.”

The top 50 officials at ICE were informed about an emergency meeting in the nation’s capital a week in advance. The agency confirmed to the Examiner that ICE’s 25 field office directors of Enforcement Removal Operations (ERO) and the 25 special agents in charge of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) arrived in Washington for the meeting on Tuesday, May 20, when Miller scolded them.

“Miller came in there and eviscerated everyone. ‘You guys aren’t doing a good job. You’re horrible leaders.’ He just ripped into everybody. He had nothing positive to say about anybody, shot morale down,” an official who spoke to those in the room during the meeting told the Examiner. “Stephen Miller wants everybody arrested. ‘Why aren’t you at Home Depot? Why aren’t you at 7-Eleven?'” the official added, recounting what happened.

you would have better luck sending your storm troopers to the Gated Communities of the UBER Rich if you want to find illegals working.......

Also, Trump's golf courses and resorts........Anyone remember when the FBI raided one of his golf courses and Resorts when he took office his first time????????????? They found boxes of blank social security cards and a printing machine in Trump Managements offices........
Nothing was ever done about it ???????? Nor were raids done by FBI on any of his other golf courses and resorts, and hotels.??????????????

If you want to catch loads of undocumented, go where they're vital to the workforce: MEAT PACKING PLANTS.

But ICE doesn't touch those. They know not to disrupt the nation's meat supply, and too many GOP donors own those places.

But the Day Laborers wait on the Right of Way, outside the Home Depot property. They're not his employees.

From 2009 to 2017 Obama deported 5 million aliens and returned them from where they came.

The Mango Menace informed Pee-Wee German that Team trDUMPSTERFIRE would not be out done by Obama and having deported more total brown people than trDUMP.

DHS/ICE is now in a race to beat Obama's numbers - exceed 1,000 per day - or they will all be pushed out a window from a 10 story high rise - Putie style.

has hired a lot of body guards. The United Healthcare CEO would advise him to beef up his security.

On the other hand, I hope Stephen does NOT beef up his security. I hope he lets all of them go home. No protection from the vile 4 year olds who are criminals arrested in a raid at their preschool but also no protection from their family, friends, community members and the residents of San Diego! Stephen should be scared shitless but he is too self absorbed and insane that he is not worried...this gives resisters an advantage. He thinks his BS won't come back and bite him in the nuts...wrong Stephen!!! We are ANGRY at tRump And WE HATE HATE HATE you just as much!!!!!!!!!

New Dem Rules 2025...WE DO NOT GET MAD, WE GET EVEN!!!!! I'm with Walz on this one.

...shot morale down."

I'm sorry, but if you're looking to a ghoulish prick like Stephen Miller for validation then you are just a pretty pathetic person on top of everything else that you are for doing the bidding of this administration.

so they will be pressured to go after anyone regardless of status, even if they are documented and not even immigrants. Anyone who looks vaguely brown will do.

These ICE agents need to resign in protest.
