Stephen Miller Calls California Protests an “Insurrection”
Former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller ignited controversy after describing ongoing protests in California as an “insurrection.” The protests, centered around a federal detention center in Los angeles, have drawn strong reactions online.
Miller’s characterization followed social media reports of a “full-blown standoff with the feds,” as protesters surrounded the detention center. He asserted that these actions constituted “an insurrection against the laws and sovereignty of the united States.”
Brian Allen, a podcaster, countered Miller’s claim, stating that the protests involved over 800 individuals who cornered federal agents, breached a government building, and caused property damage. Allen accused Miller, the architect of family separation policies, of hypocrisy for decrying the protests.
Leah McElrath, an internet personality, highlighted the Trump administration’s potential direction, noting Miller’s labeling of anti-ICE protests in blue states as an “insurrection.”
Richard Angwin, a self-described “political junkie,” criticized Miller’s language, arguing that calling peaceful protest an “insurrection” disrespects democracy and endangers civil liberties. He emphasized that protesting unjust policies is a constitutional right, not sedition.
“Calling peaceful protest an ‘insurrection’ disrespects our democracy. Protesting unjust policies is a constitutional right, not sedition. Miller’s rhetoric endangers civil liberties and distorts the meaning of real threats.”
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) also faced backlash for mirroring Miller’s language.The agency stated that anyone assaulting or impeding a federal law enforcement officer would be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Mark Salter, a speech writer, responded to CBP’s statement with a pointed remark referencing the January 6th Capitol attack.
Unless you’re breaking into the capitol and trying to hang the VP.
