Raging Stephen Miller Suggests Slapping Handcuffs on Blue State Governor

Stephen Miller said that Governor J.B. Pritzker could be arrested for engaging in a “criminal conspiracy.”

When asked by Fox host Will Cain on Friday under what authority a governor could potentially be arrested, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff said that the Department of Justice “has made clear that if officials cross that line into obstruction, into criminal conspiracy against the United States or against ICE officers, then they will face justice.”

Miller’s statement comes after President Donald Trump claimed that Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Pritzker should be “in jail for failing to protect ICE officers.”

On Oct. 23, the Illinois governor signed an executive order establishing the “Illinois Accountability Commission,” which will track “abuses” and hold Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents “accountable” following the Department of Homeland Security’s launch of “Operation Midway Blitz” in Chicago.

Should we just assume at this point that Stephen Miller is secretly trying to make Pritzker 2028 happen?

    We don’t have the power to do any of that. It’s the billionaires in the driver’s seat at the federal level.

    The only power you and I have is local now. That’s it.

    Like yesterday, when I read about 40,000,000 being kicked off SNAP. I sent some money to one of my local food banks. That’s the extent of my power, and yours. JB Pritzker will maintain that power structure and make it worse. There’s nothing we can do to change that.

      You don’t have the power to do that. Congress does.

      You have the power and responsibility to campaign for (if you choose) and vote in your best interest (the very least you should do) for a candidate that doesn’t support over throwing democracy. That goes for every election from the local level to the president.

      From there you have the power and responsibility to pay attention to what those people do, and maintain pressure on every elected official to do what’s right for the people over profit because that’s literally their only job. When they don’t do their job, you should call them out and tell others about it. You have the power to fight disinformation, spread information and ideas, and refuse to shut the fuck up about things that are important to you.
