Deputy White House Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller stated this week that the Trump administration’s enforcement of federal immigration laws has saved thousands of lives by halting policies that, under previous leadership, allowed human trafficking and exploitation to go unchecked.
Speaking to reporters, Miller shared the story of a 14-year-old girl who had been trafficked across the U.S. southern border.
According to Miller, the girl was taken from her family in a foreign country and brought illegally into the United States.

Rather than making any effort to return her to her family, the prior administration resettled her with a 26-year-old man who claimed to be her brother.
The man, who was himself in the United States illegally, was not deported or subject to further investigation.
According to Miller, federal officials accepted his claim of familial ties without verification.
The girl was placed in his custody, and the claim ultimately proved false.

Miller said the girl was later subjected to torture, rape, and forced pregnancy.
“The Biden administration made no attempt to reunite her with her actual family,” Miller said.
“They placed her with a man based on an unverified claim, and they did not care if the claim was false.”
He stated that the case was eventually brought forward for prosecution under the previous administration, but it was declined.
“It’s evil on top of evil on top of evil,” Miller told the press.
“I am not interested in moral lectures from anyone in this country in the media or the Democrat Party or the corporate press about immigration policy when the Left has been complicit in the greatest crimes against humanity that we have seen in God knows how many years in this country.”
Miller accused open border policies of fueling a system that benefits cartels and places vulnerable people at risk.
“A system that has turned human beings into fodder for the cartels and participated in the mass rape and exploitation of children and the mass murder of Americans,” he said.
Miller emphasized that the case of the 14-year-old girl is not unique.
“This is the kind of thing we discover not only every day but every hour,” he said.

During an interview with Newsmax, Miller expanded on the extent of the crisis caused by lax immigration enforcement.
He cited widespread abuse, cartel violence, and avoidable deaths as direct results of what he described as the Democrat Party’s open border policies.
“There aren’t enough volumes that could fit into a library to calculate the carnage that has been inflicted by the Democrat Party’s policy of open borders,” Miller said.
“It is a tragedy that defies our ability to even describe it.”

Miller’s comments come as the Trump administration continues to prioritize border security and strict immigration enforcement, citing national security, public safety, and humanitarian concerns.
Officials have signaled that the administration will continue to expand its policies aimed at reducing illegal crossings and disrupting trafficking networks operating along the southern border.
