The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a nonprofit civil rights organization that documents the activities of hate groups across the U.S., added a new entry to its database of extremists: White House senior adviser Stephen Miller.

Miller was added to the organization’s website on Wednesday, with the SPLC noting that President Donald Trump’s trusted confidante “is credited with shaping the racist and draconian immigration policies of President Trump,” including the zero-tolerance policy that led to thousands of children being separated from their families.

Miller also shaped the White House’s early Muslim ban, pushed for the president to attempt to end the popular Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, and advised moves to halt the issuance of green cards for immigrants using the coronavirus pandemic as a means to do so, SPLC said. ............(more)

She has spoken out against the existence of ethnic neighborhoods and, in a Karen voice, says that she just doesn't get why people aren't white Americans.

has long documented the Trump advisor's extremism.' So he's moved up in the extremist world as they award him his own entry.

Good. After Trump loses, he'll be out causing trouble funded by...whoever funds his activities. Bannon didn't spend much time unemployed after Trump and the Mercers distanced and has been brewing big trouble with new backers ever since. Read Bannon was hired almost immediately by a Chinese billionaire to cause trouble on his behalf before broadening out to his real interests.
