Top Trump aide caught using shadowy site to launch 'McCarthy-like' effort

President Donald Trump's top aide was caught using a shadowy website to track pro-Palestinian academics for deportation, Politico reported on Wednesday.

According to court documents Politico retrieved, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller admitted to using a website called Canary Mission to find information about the academics that could be used to revoke their visas. Details about how Miller used the information remain under seal after the White House asserted executive privilege, Politico reported.

Critics have accused Canary Mission of using "McCarthy-like tactics" to target pro-Palestinian academics because it uses thin and sometimes scant evidence to paint them as anti-semitic, according to Politico.

Just think they can use this Canary Mission to go after "citizens" of this country............
