Stephen Miller never actually intended on going after "violent criminal illegal aliens." This is a fear campaign to amass control. And the Trump administration does not care who ends up as collateral damage.

Look at what the president is doing: Attacking the judiciary. Attacking free press. Using fear to intimidate. Trying to normalize the U.S. military in our streets.
This is not normal. This is not American. These are attacks on the very pillars of our democracy.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

I went ahead and did the starting work for someone who wants to chase this angle. Most right-wing influencers who participated in the "Antifa" roundtable at the White House yesterday have easily provable ties to TPUSA (8 of 12). The other four need a closer look I don't have time for right now.
