Overview

• Stephen Miller engaged in a tense CNN interview on May 30, repeatedly interrupting anchor Pamela Brown and accusing her of posing “lazy assumptions” when questioning executive power.
• Miller labeled certain district court judges as “communist crazy,” arguing that requiring them to green-light each presidential action would negate democratic authority.
• He insisted the administration has complied with court orders but rejected the premise that individual judges should veto policy decisions on immigration, security or trade.
• The confrontation followed the Supreme Court’s approval of revoking Temporary Protected Status for up to 500,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.
• Pressed on China policy, Miller declined to detail possible tariff hikes or visa revocations, saying he would not reveal the full scope of the president’s strategy.
