The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.Trump administration officials sought to bus detained immigrants to so-called sanctuary cities as a way to retaliate against the president's adversaries, officials said Thursday.
DHS confirmed the broad outlines of the report Thursday night, saying in a statement:"This was a suggestion that was floated and rejected, which ended any further discussion."The Post quoted DHS officials as saying the administration sought to release detainees in the San Francisco-based district of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and in other strongly Democratic districts.
"The extent of this administration's cynicism and cruelty cannot be overstated," a spokeswoman for Pelosi told The Post."Using human beings — including little children — as pawns in their warped game to perpetuate fear and demonize immigrants is despicable." White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller at a Republican dinner in Columbus, Ohio, in August.The Post reported that two DHS whistleblowers independently reported the busing plan to Congress and that several DHS officials confirmed their accounts. Two DHS officials said Stephen Miller, a senior policy adviser who is widely reported to have assumed control of U.S. border policy, discussed the proposal with ICE, according to The Post.
"It was basically an idea that Miller wanted that nobody else wanted to carry out," a congressional investigator who has spoken to one of the whistleblowers told The Post."What happened here is that Stephen Miller called people at ICE, said if they're going to cut funding, you've got to make sure you're releasing people in Pelosi's district and other congressional districts.
