White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller celebrated how he says the Trump administration is strong-arming the press into covering the “atrocities” committed by illegal immigrants in the United States, slamming the “left-wing corporate press” for not covering these stories previously.
The White House debuted 100 lawn signs on Monday morning, each showing the mug shot of an illegal immigrant detained by the Trump administration as well as the crime they are accused of committing within the U.S. Miller detailed how he has seen daily examples of the “heinous, unthinkable crimes” that these immigrants committed against U.S. citizens from “[former President] Joe Biden’s border invasion,” accusing most of the press for not showing “an ounce of human empathy” to the victims of these crimes.

“So President Trump’s White House has forced, brilliantly, these outlets to acknowledge these crimes, to acknowledge these atrocities by putting these posters, these mug shots and their criminal histories, right behind them as they stand there and do their shots every single day,” Miller stated on Fox News’s Hannity. “And we’re going to keep forcing the media to cover the atrocities committed by the illegal aliens that Joe Biden and the Democrat Party have brought into our country.”
Miller proceeded to detail the roadblocks that the Trump administration faces in its deportation efforts, including a California law preventing police departments from handing over illegal immigrants to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. He also namedropped Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL), the “monstrous mess of a governor,” for also refusing to cooperate with ICE in handing over illegal immigrants, including those “charged with serious criminal offenses.”
Tuesday marks President Donald Trump’s 100th day back in the Oval Office, which Miller argued saw the president accomplish his “first job” of sealing the southern border. Under the new administration’s watch, Miller said “99.99%” of people have been blocked from entering the country, and only three people have been allowed to enter in the last month for “legitimate medical purposes.”
“You have a Democrat Party now that is fighting to keep all the people Joe Biden set free in this country. President Trump is mobilizing state, local, and federal law enforcement to find and remove these threats, and we’re also battling these crazy district courts. But President Trump’s plan and strategy is working. We are going to win these cases. We are going to mobilize an army of immigration law enforcement officers, and we are going to fulfill President Trump’s pledge, vow, and promise to liberate our communities from this gang threat. And it’s going to happen, Sean, it is happening, Sean.”
100-DAY REPORT CARD: TRUMP TACKLES BORDER BUT HITS SETBACKS ON DEPORTING IMMIGRANTS
Following the White House’s new illegal immigrant lawn signs, Voto Latino CEO Maria Teresa Kumar urged television networks to censor the faces displayed on these signs, claiming it is unknown if the illegal immigrants were given due process and that “we know better.”
Ahead of Trump’s 100th day in his second administration, the Washington Examiner’s Byron York assessed how Trump has succeeded in delivering on his promise to secure the southern border, which the president was able to accomplish “in about 10 minutes,” one of two major topics among his voting base. The other topic, the economy, has yet to see tangible results, which York argued is a “delicate” challenge for Trump to deal with, as he could either risk Republican leaders in Congress potentially “mess[ing] it up” or micromanaging everything these leaders do.
