Stephen Miller said that Governor J.B. Pritzker could be arrested for engaging in a “criminal conspiracy.”

When asked by Fox host Will Cain on Friday under what authority a governor could potentially be arrested, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff said that the Department of Justice “has made clear that if officials cross that line into obstruction, into criminal conspiracy against the United States or against ICE officers, then they will face justice.”

Miller’s statement comes after President Donald Trump claimed that Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Pritzker should be “in jail for failing to protect ICE officers.”

On Oct. 23, the Illinois governor signed an executive order establishing the “Illinois Accountability Commission,” which will track “abuses” and hold Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents “accountable” following the Department of Homeland Security’s launch of “Operation Midway Blitz” in Chicago.

        In high end circuses, the clowns are the most experienced acrobats and performers. There’s a decent chance the clowns are the coaches for the new performers doing the fancy stuff. It takes a ton of practice and experience to do acrobatics and gymnastics “badly” without getting horribly injured.

      Which is why I maintain that the civil war never ended, it just went cold.

      Andrew Johnson was the first victory of the south in the long cold war that followed.

      It would be funny if people went to protests dressed as union soldiers with signs like “slavery lost”.

      I feel like it would infuriate the miller and carlson types.
