I am writing to encourage you to formally request the immediate resignation or removal of Stephen Miller from his positions as White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor. Mr. Miller’s recent actions and the catastrophic outcomes of his "Operation Metro Surge" have moved beyond the realm of political debate and into the territory of gross negligence and constitutional overreach. Mr. Miller’s continued presence in any administration is untenable: The recent killing of U.S. citizens Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis represents a tipping point. Evidence suggests that Mr. Miller’s directive to ICE and Border Patrol—demanding nearly 3,000 arrests per day—created a "quota-first" culture that values numbers over human life and due process. Furthermore, Mr. Miller’s immediate, unsubstantiated labeling of Mr. Pretti, a VA nurse, as a "would-be assassin" was not just a lapse in judgment; it was a deliberate smear intended to shield the administration from accountability. Such reckless rhetoric from a top official is a disqualifying breach of the public trust. Under the banner of "Operation Metro Surge," Mr. Miller has spearheaded a campaign of warrantless searches and the deployment of federal forces into American cities without local coordination. By advocating for the use of Title 10 authority to federalize the National Guard for domestic law enforcement—a move that challenges the core of the Posse Comitatus Act—Mr. Miller is effectively architecting an end-run around the Fourth Amendment. A White House advisor who views the Constitution as an obstacle to be bypassed rather than a framework to be upheld is a liability to the Republic. For years, Mr. Miller has been a conduit for rhetoric and policies that lean into ethno-nationalist ideologies. From the "zero-tolerance" family separation policy to his documented sharing of white nationalist materials, his influence has consistently prioritized cruelty as a form of performance art. This "cruelty-as-policy" approach has not only isolated the United States from its international allies but has also catalyzed domestic civil unrest. Governance requires a level of empathy and legal grounding that Mr. Miller has repeatedly proven he lacks. The stability and safety of American citizens depend on leadership that respects the rule of law and the dignity of the people it serves. Stephen Miller has demonstrated that he is either unable or unwilling to operate within those bounds. For the sake of national unity and the integrity of the Executive Branch, he must be relieved of his positions in government.
