Stephen Miller unloaded on a liberal legal pundit with a fury many Americans feel but the media refuse to report honestly. On national television he called Andrew Weissmann a “moron,” a “fool,” and a “degenerate” after Weissmann argued the administration’s move to deport violent Venezuelan gang members might be unconstitutional. Miller didn’t mince words because this isn’t abstract legal debate — it’s about protecting American lives from brutal criminal elements.
The administration invoked the rarely used Alien Enemies Act to expel alleged members of the Tren de Aragua gang, arguing that these violent actors amount to an invasion by criminal foreign elements. That hard-nosed approach is exactly the kind of decisive action long overdue after decades of weak enforcement and catch-and-release chaos at the border. Conservatives should celebrate officials who finally put the safety of American neighborhoods ahead of the fashionable compassion of elites who never live next to the consequences.
Judges predictably stepped in, with D.C. District Judge James Boasberg issuing an order that paused those deportations and even demanded planes be turned around while the legal fight proceeds. The resulting circus — with flights already in the air and the administration insisting it acted within presidential authority — underscores the absurdity of a system that treats border enforcement like a political punchline. It’s not a game when the people who suffer are victims of rape and murder; the courts should respect national security, not paper over it for virtue-signaling headlines.
This is the moment the left proves its priorities: arguing legal technicalities while excusing the very criminals who prey on women and children. Miller named the victims — from young Jocelyn Nungaray to Laken Riley and others — to remind the public that these are not statistics but real Americans taken from their families. The media’s reflex to scold anyone who raises a hand against lawlessness is costing lives, and that hypocrisy must be called out without apology.
Let’s be clear about the stakes. When the executive branch is willing to use every lawful tool to remove foreign criminals and the courts reflexively intervene on procedural grounds, citizens lose faith in both institutions meant to keep them safe. Americans deserve leaders who will stop treating our sovereignty like a suggestion and start treating violent illegal actors like the threats they are.
Stephen Miller’s bluntness is refreshing because Washington’s polite euphemisms have only protected perpetrators and punished victims. Conservatives should not be embarrassed by forceful defense of the rule of law and the safety of everyday people; we should demand more of it. The choice is stark — either we restore border integrity and deport dangerous foreign gang members, or we accept a permanent decline in public safety and civic order.
Those who pretend the problem can be papered over with lectures about due process are living in a gilded bubble, far from the neighborhoods where mothers tuck in their children with a prayer for safe sleep. Americans who work hard, follow the law, and pay taxes deserve a government that puts their security first. It’s time to stop apologizing for enforcing the law and start rewarding leaders who do the hard but necessary work of defending our country.
The Miller moment should be a wake-up call for every patriot who still believes America is worth protecting. Call out the moral cowardice of elites who sympathize with criminals and demand officials who will act decisively rather than performatively. If we do not insist on safety, order, and sovereignty now, we will spend the next generation rebuilding what we let slip away.
