White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller outfoxed a CNN reporter who tried to use Democrat talking points on illegal criminal deportations and the role of ICE.
Speaking to CNN's Boris Sanchez on Monday, Miller was asked about comments from Democrat Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, who accused President Trump of "attempting to inflame tensions and create a war zone" in Chicago by "profiling" what Pritzker said were "black and brown people."

Miller hit back at the reporter and said that the "Black people in Chicago are thrilled that we are getting the illegal aliens out of the community who are stealing their housing, jobs, and resources."
He slammed the efforts to block Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) actions to rid the city of illegal criminals after Chicago's Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson declared ICE "No-go zones" on city properties.
"I ask you the question: what is the right term to describe a local official declaring a 'No-go zone' for ICE?" Miller said, turning the tables on the reporter. "Would you tolerate it for the FBI, ATF, or DEA? No, you would not."
"But there's an effort to delegitimize the core function of the federal government of enforcing our immigration laws and our sovereignty," he added. "It is domestic terrorism. It is an insurrection. And no amount of insane hyperventilating lies from Pritzker or Johnson or any other Democratic official will change our minds on that."
Stop lying. The question, which you omitted, was “Is it the case, that as Pritzker frames it, you are profiling brown people?”

Sanchez then tried again to get Miller to answer if ICE was profiling and going after people of color, and Miller just laughed and called it a "dumb question."
"Oh, what a dumb question?" Miller said. "The illegal aliens who are here are taking jobs away from blacks, they're taking jobs away from whites, they're taking jobs away from Latinos, they're taking their health benefits away, they're taking their school slots away. And of course, in many cases, they're committing heinous crimes."
"We cannot have a system of law in this country that privileges illegal aliens over American citizens, and that's what they're doing," he added. "You know it, and I know it."
The reporter hit back and said, "So, that's not exactly a no, Stephen. Can you just unequivocally say…"
"I said it's a dumb question," Miller replied, though the reporter was not satisfied. "No, and it's a dumb question… I thought what I said was a dumb question; it meant no. My full answer is no, that is a lie, and it's a dumb question!"
It is truly insane that President Trump, his administration, and the Department of Homeland Security have had to deal with these kinds of lies and claims from not just Democrats but also members of the so-called legacy media.
