Speaking to Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Wednesday, the White House deputy chief of staff launched into an unhinged rant against Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson—both of whom Donald Trump has called to be jailed—while accusing them of failing to protect Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.

    Elsewhere during his Hannity appearance, Miller claimed that the apparent success of the federal takeover in D.C. showed why other cities should welcome the president’s crime crackdown.

    “The Trump plan has brought historic safety to one of the most violent cities on earth, Washington, D.C. That’s what President Trump wants for Chicago. That’s what he wants for Portland, that’s what he wants for Los Angeles,” Miller said.

    “And yet, Democrats are on the side every night of the gangbangers, the predators, and now even the domestic terrorists.”

    Just found this break down of the arrests made by the Memphis safe taskforce as of Monday:

    The DOJ offered some insight into the reasons behind these arrests, although 16% of them have been labeled as “other” without further elaboration.

    In the first week of operation, beginning September 29, the 20 local, state and federal agencies that are involved in this crime-fighting operation successfully apprehended 181 warrant fugitives in total. The DOJ says 82 (or 45%) of these warrant pickups were ICE arrests.

    The task force also arrested 41 suspects on gun-related charges, 26 for narcotics violations, 18 for sex offenses, two for probation/parole violations, and one homicide suspect.

    The DOJ says the task force also made 52 “other” arrests, but no further information on those arrests is available.

    So out of 181 “fugitives,” you’ve arrested exactly 1 murder suspect. Nearly half of everyone else you arrested were immigrants, and 16% of people you arrested you can’t even give us a reason for doing so?

    I know we’re not supposed to use the F word anymore, but this sounds like a lotta FASCIST BULLSHIT!

    If I didn’t know any better, I might think ole honest Stephen Miller is lying to the rest of America about what the administration is actually achieving going into these cities that have become “war zones” and “bloodbaths”
