The Roasting of Kaitlin Collins

Stephen Miller Lowers the Legal Boom

"If Bondi’s explanation was the scalpel, Miller brought the sledgehammer. Then came Stephen Miller, now Homeland Security Advisor and Deputy Chief of Staff.

He reminded the room (and Kaitlan Collins, who clearly needed it) that MS-13 is a designated foreign terrorist organization under U.S. law. Once that designation is in place, the gang member in question, Garcia, becomes ineligible for immigration relief—no asylum, no green card, not even a free toothbrush at the border welcome center.

And just in case CNN wanted to make it more dramatic, Miller threw in the 9-0 Supreme Court decision that confirmed the administration had zero obligation to bring this guy back. A federal judge tried to override the process? The Supreme Court basically laughed and told him to sit down.

Nine to zero. In Washington, that’s the legal equivalent of a mic drop." [pagetraveler]
