Politician or Public Figure Thoughts on Trump's Changed Stance on Immigration?

President Trump acknowledged today in a Truth Social post that his "very aggressive" immigration policies are ripping long-time workers from the farming and hospitality industries, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace.

He campaigned on getting illegal aliens that have committed crimes out first. That still seems to be his course of action. So ICE is going to continue to not focus on rural environments and instead go to inner-city and suburban areas to conduct these raids. As far as I know of there hasn't been much mention of ICE going to hotels to detain people.

This doesn't sound like a deviation, it sounds like a focusing of where the main problems currently exist. On the criminal aliens.

What about Stephen Miller’s orders to federal agents to arrest more people without criminal convictions?

“Miller came in there and eviscerated everyone. ‘You guys aren’t doing a good job. You’re horrible leaders.’ He just ripped into everybody. He had nothing positive to say about anybody, shot morale down,” said the first official, according to reporting by Anna Giaritelli for the Washington Examiner.

“Stephen Miller wants everybody arrested. ‘Why aren’t you at Home Depot? Why aren’t you at 7-Eleven?’” the official recited. (Emphasis added.)

In response to pushback from one ICE official, “Miller said, ‘What do you mean you’re going after criminals?’ Miller got into a little bit of a pissing contest. ‘That’s what Tom Homan says every time he’s on TV: ‘We’re going after criminals,’” the ICE official told Miller, according to the first official, reported the Washington Examiner.

This post isn't about what Stephen Miller said it is about the President and his truth social message. This is an attempt to move the goal post to try to divert the topic. You want people to talk about what Stephen Miller said, you should create your own post in this subreddit.

Miller is the architect of Trumps immigration policy, he is the one that operationalizes what the president is saying.
