Stephen Miller Criticizes Media for MS-13 Coverage

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller sharply criticized the media during a Thursday press briefing for what he described as their biased coverage of crimes involving illegal immigrants. Miller accused journalists of focusing on the deportation of alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia while largely ignoring cases where Americans, such as Jocelyn Nungaray, have been victims of violent crimes committed by undocumented immigrants released under the Biden administration. He highlighted what he called the media’s reluctance to cover crimes attributed to illegal immigrants during the previous administration, in contrast to their current emphasis on due process for deported individuals. Miller referenced FBI reports on foreign gangs posing threats to Americans and accused the press of downplaying these risks, maintaining that the media prioritizes the narratives of dangerous immigrants over the experiences of American victims. He also noted that the Biden administration provided extensive due process to suspected gang members, leading to tragic outcomes. The exchange underscored ongoing tensions between the White House and the press over immigration coverage and public safety.
