11. The grandchild of the oppressed turns oppressor. A self-hating Jew turns full Nazi fascist.

Bondi checks in with Miller every morning. I read it on WIRED Politics section.

Miller has been given significant influence over the Department of Justice, with Attorney General Pam Bondi taking a largely implementing role.[120]
Miller has criticized federal judges as "Marxist judges" and claimed they were carrying out a "judicial coup" by restricting the powers of the US president.[110]
In March 2025, after a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to return back flights of deported migrants headed to El Salvador, Miller pushed for the flights to continue.[40]
Miller became a leading official in the Trump administration's actions against higher education, alleging universities did not do enough to curb antisemitism and protect Jewish students. The actions have included revoking federal funding to universities to demand policy changes, arresting foreign students and demanding changes to the makeup of student bodies.[121][122][123]

In May 2025, Miller said regarding immigration cases that "the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in a time of invasion," and that the Trump administration was "actively looking at" carrying out such a suspension, depending on "whether the courts do the right thing or not"; Article One of the United States Constitution forbids such a suspension "unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it."[124]
He later visited the headquarters of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement in May, calling for officials to increase the pace of deportations.[125]
Miller and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were involved in the preparations to revoke visas of Chinese students in the United States and increase restrictions on them.[126]
Later in May, Rubio announced the U.S. government would "aggressively revoke visas for Chinese students, including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields" and also announced the U.S. would increase scrutiny of all future visa applications from China and Hong Kong.[127] Miller coordinated the federal government response to the June 2025 Los Angeles protests, giving orders to agencies including the Department of Defense.[40]

Recent reporting shows Miller has a large financial stake in Palantir, the company that is providing technology to ICE deportation efforts, raising concerns of conflicts of interest by ethics experts.[128]
