'Evil, Fascist, Wannabe Authoritarian' Stephen Miller Threatens IL Gov. Pritzker With Arrest
"Just over nine months after President Donald Trump returned to office and pardoned his supporters who stormed the US Capitol, one of the Republican’s top aides suggested that federal law enforcement may arrest Democrats standing up to the White House’s anti-migrant agenda, including Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker."
"Asked about the administration’s willingness and federal authority to arrest the Illinois leader on Fox News Friday, Stephen Miller, Trump’s deputy chief of staff for policy and homeland security adviser, responded: 'Well, the answer I’m about to give doesn’t only apply to Gov. Pritzker, it applies to any state official, any local official, anybody who’s operating in an official capacity who conspires or engages in activity that unlawfully impedes federal law enforcement conducting their duties.' "
" 'So if you engage in a criminal conspiracy to obstruct the enforcement of federal immigration laws or to unlawfully order your own police officers or your own officials to try to interfere with ICE officers, or even to arrest ICE officers, you’re engaged in criminal activity,' he said, referring to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. 'Different types of crimes would apply. There is obstruction of justice. There is harboring illegal aliens. There is impeding the enforcement of our immigration laws.' "
“ 'And then, as you get up the scale of behavior, you obviously get into seditious conspiracy charges, depending on the conduct, and many other offenses. So again, it depends on the action. It depends on the conduct. It depends on what is taking place,' Miller continued. He went on to tell ICE officers that 'you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties.' "
