Stephen Miller, President Donald Trump’s White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, sharply criticized the Democratic Party over its handling of public safety and immigration enforcement during a Fox News segment, warning that left-wing policies are putting Americans in danger and enabling violent criminals to remain in the country.
“Can you imagine getting a lecture on public safety from the party that has let child rapists and murderers into this country in mass?” Miller said during the interview.
“Do you have any idea how many little girls have been maimed and raped and killed by the illegal aliens that they let into our country, that they gleefully allowed into our nation, and they want to lecture us on public safety.”

Miller specifically called out Democrat-run sanctuary cities for shielding illegal aliens who commit serious crimes from deportation.
He cited the case of a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer who was recently shot in New York by a suspect with a history of arrests and releases under liberal criminal justice and immigration policies.
“They have destroyed the lives of countless thousands of Americans, and today, Democrats run sanctuary cities that protect and shield illegal aliens who have committed the most heinous crimes from deportation,” Miller said.
“In every one of these cases—look at the case right here. Right here, this CBP officer, his assailant was arrested and released, arrested and released, arrested and released, because Democrat policies shield these monsters from deportation by purpose and by design.”

Miller argued that the consequences of these policies are not accidental, but part of an intentional ideological campaign to weaken national sovereignty and endanger public safety.
“Their policies are evil. They are intentional. They are malicious. They hate this country, and they want our people to suffer, and they have turned migration into a weapon,” Miller stated.
Under President Trump’s leadership, Miller said, federal immigration enforcement agencies like ICE and Border Patrol have aggressively pursued and removed violent offenders from American communities.
He said their operations continue to expose the severity of the problem created by lax enforcement and political interference.
“And when ICE and Border Patrol go out and conduct these raids, what do they find?” Miller asked.
“Trafficked and enslaved children. They find offenders with rap sheets that go from here to the other side of the country, state after state—a trail of blood and suffering.”
He credited President Trump’s policies for contributing to a recent decline in violent crime by targeting repeat offenders who, under prior policies, remained free to commit additional crimes.
“And ICE and Border Patrol are getting these monsters out of our country, getting out of our communities,” Miller said.
“Under President Trump’s leadership, murder rates are finally falling because these people are being sent home.”

The remarks come amid renewed scrutiny of Democrat-backed sanctuary city laws and the broader immigration enforcement approach that has led to the release of individuals with extensive criminal histories.
Federal authorities have emphasized that continued support from the executive branch is critical to the mission of securing the border and protecting American communities.
