Stephen Miller reportedly told White House that they could invoke 18th-century law to expedite deportations

if US and Venezuela were at war

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller reportedly told White House officials that the Trump administration could expedite deportations through the 18th-century Alien Enemies Act if the U.S. and Venezuela were at war, according to a new report.

The revelation is part of a broader report published by The New York Times about Miller and Secretary of State Marco Rubio's leading role in the administration's escalating military campaign against regional cartels and, more specifically, the Nicolas Maduro regime in Venezuela.

We know Trump's father was a monster and his mother didn't love him or show him affection, but what the hell is Steven Miller's damage? From where does all his hatred stem?
