Stephen Miller tried crying foul about a proposed check on the United States power to spy on Americans, only to be brutally mocked and fact-checked online.

Congressional lawmakers have been suggesting a requirement for federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies to seek approval to spy on Americans from judges from a court set up by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

Top ICE staffers apparently tried to block the duo from alleged spying concerns by using sound machines to block recordings because they worried that they were under surveillance, The Daily Beast reported. An experienced employee described the “distrust, abuse, and corruption” within the agency under Noem's leadership as the "most toxic" they have ever seen.

A sweat-filled run through the mean streets of Los Angeles is my favorite way to start the day.
