White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller criticized CNN anchor Boris Sanchez’s question on Monday about whether President Donald Trump’s administration was racially “profiling” in its Immigration enforcement.
Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has accusedImmigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) of targeting individuals based on their “brown or black” skin color. Sanchez repeatedly asked Miller on “CNN News Central” to respond to Pritzker’s claim, prompting Miller to call the query “dumb” and rejected the allegation outright.

“Is it the case that as Pritzker frames it, you are profiling brown people, that this Immigration crackdown is designed to go after people of color?” Sanchez asked.
Miller laughed before answering.
“Oh, what a dumb question. The illegal aliens who are here are taking jobs away from blacks. They’re taking jobs away from whites. They’re taking jobs away from Latinos. They’re taking their health benefits away,” Miller said. “They’re taking their school slots away. And of course, in many cases, they’re committing heinous crimes. We cannot have a system of law in this country that privileges illegal aliens over American citizens. And that’s what they’re doing. You know it and I know it.”
