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 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.

If you hated him already, be prepared to hate him even more.

Just like giving credit to the original publication.
