Stephen Miller is the most dangerous man in the Trump administration | Judith Levine

In the White House deputy chief of staff, we see that Maga will not simply end with Trump. We must keep our eyes on Miller

In an interview on Monday, CNN's Boris Sanchez asked Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff, whether Donald Trump intended to abide by federal judge Karin Immergut's order blocking the deployment of the national guard in Oregon.

Miller said neither yes nor no. But the implication was no. The administration had already filed an appeal with the ninth circuit. He said: I would note the administration won an identical case in the ninth circuit just a few months ago with respect to the federalizing of the California national guard." Actually, it didn't quite win. As I understand it (and lawyers, please correct me) the administration won a temporary stay on a temporary injunction against federalizing the California national guard in Los Angeles.
