As a rift grows within the Republican Party, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) publicly challenged President Donald Trump's recent immigration policy proposal following the deadly shooting of two National Guard troops in Washington, D.C.

After 20-year-old servicemember Sarah Beckstrom was killed by an Afghan national, Trump furiously proposed sweeping immigration measures.

After an Afghan national was named as a suspect, Miller responded to a Wall Street Journal editorial that asserted that Afghan refugees "shouldn't be blamed for the violent act of one man.
