He's even worse than you thought... A typical sad tale of a family with no criminal history deported under the Trump regime, the kind of story Stephen Miller loves to hear.
Ellen was finally able to remove a hysterical Jessica from the room, and as the ICE officers took Richard, she kept yelling, Daddy, Daddy, Noooooooooo!!!! As they walked back to the waiting room, the lawyer could see the faces of the immigrants and others who were sitting in the waiting area, looking on in confused horror at what must have been waiting for them on the other side of that door. Months later, the attorney tells Rolling Stone, I can still hear the little girls screams.
Ellen and Jessica would pack up and leave for Richards home country. The two expected to reunite with him there within days. Instead, to their terror, the Trump administration disappeared him into a Louisiana detention facility for nearly two months. They have since been reunited, but the scars have yet to heal. The lawyer says that Jessica still wakes up in the middle of the night, shouting for Daddy.
Under every modern president there is harsh immigration enforcement, and heartbreaking decisions are made. But this story is only happening because the Trump White House and Miller are leaning on agencies to crack down in every state, just so Miller can run up the scoreboard on arrests.
To you, this may seem sad, even appalling. To Miller, he thinks your outrage is very funny. In private conversations this year, the top Trump adviser has said that liberals promoting immigrant families sob stories are engaging in emotional blackmail that Miller and the government simply will not fall for. He laughs it off, before getting back to work creating more horror stories.

OP
I hit a paywall, thought the source was clear from the reference in the excerpt.

They could have dealt with immigration issues in a more professional, non controversial way.

(24,110 posts)1. Thanks for posting this. Might as well say it comes from the "Rolling Stone"
and the article link https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/stephen-miller-trump-terror-ice-immigration-military-1235426023/ does not appear to be under any paywall (for me, at least.)
Just like giving credit to the original publication.

But they love the cruelty, horror, chaos, violence.
They are sadists through and through.

Only a deeply flawed system would allow such a disliked sick fuck to hold a position of power as his....

Absolutely despicable.
