Trump delivered a 'slap in the face to Stephen Miller' with pivot: MSNBC analyst

A decision by Donald Trump to urge ICE agents to change where they snatch up unsuspecting immigrants was a direct rebuke to White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller.

That is the opinion of former Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin as she spoke to MSNBC's Ali Velshi on Sunday morning.

Rubin, who also serves as a political analyst for MSNBC, was asked by the host about Trump's "backtrack" on immigrant enforcement when he pressed the agency to suspend raids on "hotels, farms, meatpacking plants and restaurants," as Axios is reporting.

Attributing the change of heart by the Trump administration to "donor pressure," Rubin explained, "All of the ag interests and the hotel owners and Trump himself who rely on undocumented immigrants, don't like this."

"You know, who could have predicted that this would unravel the economy?" she asked sarcastically. "Who could have predicted that this would be disruptive to American society and the economy? Well, all of us have."

"And this is really a slap in the face to Stephen Miller and those people who thought that somehow [they were] going to deport 11 million people, it is never going to happen," she predicted.
