Stephen Miller says the D.C. immigration crackdown is "just getting started"

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller appeared on national media to declare that the administration's crackdown on Washington D.C. and other sanctuary jurisdictions was "just getting started," signaling plans for intensified federal enforcement. Miller's comments came the same day as the D.C. AG lawsuit and the TPS court injunction, framing ongoing legal battles as temporary obstacles to broader enforcement goals. Legal analysts noted Miller's public statements were being cited in court filings as evidence of discriminatory intent.
