Stephen Miller facing revolt from Trump's DOJ over his demands: NBC News

Demands that White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is making on the various federal law enforcement agencies is starting to set off a revolt, NBC News is reporting,

Following up on her Wednesday report on how Miller and Donald Trump's war on immigrants is "reshaping" the focus of what crimes should be prioritized, NBC's Julia Ainsley told the hosts of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that the abrasive Miller is increasingly angering other members of the administration.

For NBC News she wrote that in May, Miller "berated and threatened to fire senior Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials if they did not begin detaining 3,000 migrants a day," and has since demanded other agencies help out with his "Operation At Large."

On MSNBC, the reporter noted other agencies feel they are being forced to drop more important investigations not related to immigrants in order to satisfy the Trump adviser and they are not pleased.

Noting plans to use members of the National Guard to round up immigrants, Ainsley added, "This comes a week after the infamous, now infamous meeting where Stephen Miller called in the leaders of ICE and screamed at them, yelled at them, threatened to start firing the bottom 10 percent of performers if they didn't get their arrest numbers to 3000 a day."

"But all of those law enforcement agencies obviously had other jobs," she elaborated. "And oftentimes if they were called into immigration, it would be because there was a real criminal element to this. As we understand from Miller's direction to ICE, is that they shouldn't just be focusing on criminals; they need to spread the net more widely."

"And so there's some push back we're hearing from DOJ and other agencies about how much of their resources they're being asked to give to immigration," she reported. "In fact, this has been coming for some time now. And where U.S. attorney's offices have said they feel like they are passing over U.S. citizens who have committed dangerous crimes, and they're not prosecuting them."
