Recent news reports confirm that Stephen Miller, White House Deputy Chief of Staff known for pushing aggressive immigration policies, had advocated for the FBI to assist in the Trump administration's migrant crackdown. However, this particular push has been effectively "put on ice" and the FBI has abandoned involvement in Miller’s migrant round-up efforts. Instead of the FBI assisting, the crackdown is being led more by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other branches, without FBI support. This is described as a "humiliating blow" to Miller’s plan to expand enforcement capabilities through FBI collaboration. The reports indicate internal resistance or logistical/policy barriers within the FBI or wider administration that stalled Miller’s proposal.
