Shortly after Trump\u2019s border czar Tom Homan flat out stated he didn’t “care” what judges thought, Stephen Miller, Trump\u2019s deputy chief of staff for policy, questioned the authority of a district court judge to rule over the president’s immigration policies.<\/p>\n

I asked Miller if this administration believes it needs to comply with a verbal court order. He took it one step farther.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe American people said, to get these terrorist gangs the hell out of our country. The President has plenary authority under the Constitution, under the Alien Enemies Act, under the IMA, under core article, two powers to achieve that and no district court judge, who presides over to some small like little geography of the whole country could possibly presume to have the authority to direct the expulsion of terrorists from our soil, who by the way are also here illegally,\u201d he stated, calling the order \u201cpatently unlawful.\u201d<\/p>\n

The White House has not provided the names of the alleged gang members who were deported or any substantial evidence of the crimes they committed in the United States.<\/p>\n

I asked Miller why the White House has released images and videos of the people they deported but has not released their names. He cited “operational security\u201d reasons.<\/p>\n

“Well, they are actually foreign terrorists and alien enemies the United States and everything that we do is for operational security reasons. We are dealing with one of the most dangerous terrorist organizations on planet Earth,” he said.<\/p>\n

He added, “They’re even more ruthless and violent than MS-13, and so operational security and public safety and national security always going to guide any decisions that are made in this regard.”<\/p>\n
