WASHINGTON, June 7 (Reuters) - Senior White House aide Stephen Miller on Saturday condemned protests in downtown Los Angeles against federal immigration raids as an “insurrection” against the United States.

Helmeted police in riot gear engaged in a tense confrontation with protesters on Friday night after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents conducted enforcement operations in the city and arrested at least 44 people on immigration violations. “An insurrection against the laws and sovereignty of the United States,” Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff, wrote on X.

Miller, an immigration hardliner, was responding to video footage on X showing a large number of people protesting in downtown Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) said it had not made any arrests related to the demonstration.
FBI deputy director Dan Bongino posted on X that they were reviewing evidence from the protests.

“We are working with the U.S. Attorney’s Office to ensure the perpetrators are brought to justice,” Bongino said. “The Right to assemble and protest does not include a license to attack law enforcement officers, or to impede and obstruct our lawful immigration operations.”

He's trying to encourage them to instigate a situation where they can invoke the "Insurrection Act" and declare martial law.

[Irish_Dem]

1. He wants to do a Kent State.

[Scrivener7]

2. He wants martial law across the country.

[Irish_Dem]

3. Yes. And will kill protesters on sight.

[hadEnuf]

17. I'm sure the right wing instigators are out in force there.

Vermin shit like Miller are just salivating at the thought of an "incident" where they can put tanks in the streets. It's not a stretch to think that they will create one. We've already got Proud Boys with badges and guns roaming around in armored personnel vehicles grabbing brown people off the streets.

The "assassination" attempt on Trump, that more and more people are seeing as staged, just shows what lengths these scum fascists will go to.

[Irish_Dem]

21. Miller is quite capable of what you describe.

He is one of the most evil members of the Trump Crime Syndicate.

Yes I assume there are Miller and Russian instigators.

Yes the masked men are Proud Boys pardoned by Trump.
They are untrained criminals.

There is going to be a tragedy soon I fear.

[hadEnuf]

25. I hope not. I hope the protesters keep their heads.

But tensions are starting to run high.

[Irish_Dem]

26. People are very upset about the Nazi Gestapo invading their towns.

And the masked armed ICE nazis are untrained, arrogant and violent.

Along with probable Russian/GOP agitators.

We know this is not a good combination

[Javaman]

33. I said back in march

Between 3 and 6 months from now, the orange asshole will order his thugs to fire in protesters

We at inching closer to it every day

[Irish_Dem]

34. You are looking more and more right on.

Masked, untrained, arrogant, violent proud boys.
Angry and fed up protestors.
With Miller and Russian agitators.
And a dictator who wants total power and control.

Recipe for disaster.

[DENVERPOPS]

63. THIS particular disaster

has been very covertly..... well organized and orchestrated for some time,..... all in the shadows.

I think what we have seen, and the rate at which it has been accelerating is potentially a harbinger of things to come........June 14th..........

[Irish_Dem]

66. I agree, everything has been carefully planned to get to this stage.

All the reality TV show stunts, horrific and shocking.
Very public displays of kidnapping men, women, children, sending them to torture and death camps.
By untrained proud boys wearing masks, no ID, poorly trained.

Trump and his people constantly lying, manipulating, pretending to stand up for the American
people when they are doing the opposite. The constant denigration and fighting with colleges, scientists,
teachers, doctors, etc. Refusing to adhere to rule of law and the constitution.

The American people were bound to protest and then Trump could make his next move.
Yes we shall see it unfold.

The public will see the fierce American military power on vulgar display.
A warning to Americans of what he can unleash on them.

[TomSlick]

36. He wants to far surpass Kent State.

Kent State occurred because untrained National Guards men were sent in to confront protesters.

Stephen Miller wants the feds to take over California. At a minimum, Miller wants the Gestapo to shot a lot more people than were shot at Kent State.

[Irish_Dem]

40. I totally agree Tom.

What the evil ones have planned will make Kent State look quite tame.

God help us.
No one else will.

[jmbar2]

4. He wants martial alw

Damn! I am so proud of the protesters. And so many are women, out there getting hit over and over again with tear gas. They demonstrate so much strength combined with restraint.

[k_buddy762]

5. Defined

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/insurrection

So does it apply against cops?

[Historic NY]

6. Its an invasion of a masked military force.

[Qutzupalotl]

7. Such a spiteful little man.

We (correctly) accused his side of an insurrection, so he accuses our side of the same thing. It’s a kind of trolling.

[DENVERPOPS]

64. All symptoms of a grossly immature

man child with TWPC, a lifetime affliction.......Napolean Complex, Little Man Syndrome, or TEENIE WEENIE PEENIE COMPLEX.........

[AllaN01Bear]

8. hem, what was jan 6?

[Ollie Garkie]

9. My ass.

The crowds were actually rather small and tepid from video I've seen.

[DBoon]

11. *any* public opposition looks like an insurrection to Herr Goebbels

[Klarkashton]

53. Bare handed latinas shouting at those miserable

Stormtroopers. You can't dooooo that anymore.

[kacekwl]

10. Keep trying dickhead. Until we

break into the White House and drag all you traitorous jackoffs out for hanging it won't be an insurrection.

[liberalgunwilltravel]

12. Miller

Needs to disappear.

[Butterflylady]

13. Miller should be arrested and tried for .....

Inciting an insurrection. He thinks he's a big cheese now, but just wait till f47 is taken down and he will be, then what will do ?

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

15. Well, Goebbels and his wife committed suicide at the end.....

but I wouldn’t wish any ills on his family. Magda and Josef Goebbels poisoned their children before they took cyanide themselves.

[Sessuch]

24. Steven Miller is beginning to se the handwriting on the wall

Where will he run?

[The Blue Flower]

14. "Law enforcement officers?"

Without ID or uniforms, how does anyone know who they are? Prove they're yours, Miller.

[jgmiller]

16. Sadly this all has one very obvious end point

Someone said Miller wants another Kent State, no what Miller wants is a Kent State X 100 and I'm afraid that is what is going to happen.

What happens once that happens decides if we survive as a democracy or not. I'd like to think that it would wake up some of the GOP in congress to realize what must be done to save the country. Unfortunately I think the more likely scenario is they will become even more intidimated which is exactly what Miller and the others want.

[hadEnuf]

19. The GOP have acted like they are some kind of warriors for their right wing causes.

But they are cowards at heart and are winding up as hostages themselves. The monster is loose because of them and the monster will turn against them in a second.

Congratulations, you traitorous assholes.

[DENVERPOPS]

68. There are also 1600 convicted insurrectionists

that Trump released from prison that are out there for some retribution, along with all their comrades.........

[Iamscrewed]

18. Rightstag

My spelling may not be right but we've known for a long time that is exactly what they're looking for.

[Pachamama]

48. Reichstag Fire and the resulting Ermchtigungs Gesetz

Germans know it well

[atreides1]

20. We need to be careful

It's possible that saying anything against Stephen Miller may result in being called an anti-semite!!!

[orangecrush]

31. Fuck Miller

With a cactus wrapped in razor wire.

[Puppyjive]

22. The next democratic president

Will pardon them.

[DENVERPOPS]

23. I, for one,

have been predicting this for months and months...........

I would rather have been wrong in my suspicions that Trump’s Gestapo would try to provoke acting out by the Dems, so he could “justify” enacting the Insurrection Act, ignoring the Posse Comatatus Act, and institute Martial Law with being “Justified” in using the entire U.S. Military against any and all dissenters for his Military Coup takeover of the nation….

I also really fear that is what his June 14th flexing of the military is all about. If the 6,000 soldiers in the Parade are wearing their full battle gear, versus their “Dress” uniforms…... we will know….

I still am in hopes I am wrong, but it is looking more and more every day like Trump's intentions ................

[70sEraVet]

32. And Martial Law gives him cause to suspend elections until further notice?

Didn't he tell them in a campaign speech, that if they voted for him this time, they would never have to vote again?

[Srkdqltr]

27. Did his wife run off with Musk? No wonder he is cranky

[Irish_Dem]

28. We have no idea if masked men with no identification are US officials or not.

[Picaro]

29. Just in case no one has really noticed

Steve Miller is a very dangerous individual. He is driving the policy that is being carried out.

He desperately wants his Reichstag moment so that he can get Trump to declare martial law and suspend habeus corpus.

He already said so.

Not sure how we get out of this without actual insurrection.

[Figarosmom]

39. I'm sorry

To have to agree.

[orangecrush]

30. Then go there you Nazi q-tip

And put it down.

In person

[Uncle Joe]

35. Has Miller referred to January 6th; when *rump supporters attacked the House of "We the People"

as Miller tried to overturn the voice of the American people by denying their votes as an insurrection?

Miller's lies almost cost *rump's former Vice-President his life.

(snip)

The House investigation found that after the call between Miller and Trump the morning of January 6, Miller added in “POTUS edits” to Trump’s Ellipse speech that included a mention of then-Vice President Mike Pence having the ability to overturn the election result – a power Pence himself believed he didn’t have.

“We will see whether Mike Pence enters history as a truly great and courageous leader. All he has to do is refer the illegally-submitted electoral votes back to the states,” the draft read. Another White House adviser then asked Miller to remove the Pence reference from the speech’s text. Pence and Trump then had an angry phone call, and the speechwriting team reinserted a line about Pence.

Criminal investigators from the special counsel’s office have been pursuing questions about Trump’s pressure campaign on Pence, and they’re securing testimony about it from a number of witnesses in recent weeks. Pence himself could testify as soon as this week.

The grand jury proceedings are secret, and the special counsel’s office hasn’t filed any charges.

[IronLionZion]

37. That's why they wear masks and don't show any badge numbers or even wear uniforms

no consequences for any of these ICE goons.

[Figarosmom]

38. Of course he does

That's what they are working for. Then 2026 is gone.

[travelingthrulife]

41. Insurrections are legal now, aren't they you sadistic punk.

42. It's not an insurrection and will never be.

But if you keep pushing you will see something indeed.

[azureblue]

52. nevermind

[Hassler]

54. Herr HimMiller hates LA because he couldn't get a date

He hates Harvard because all he could do was Duke.

[Karasu]

55. The ultimate irony coming from someone serving in an "administration" that ONLY exists because we failed to properly

punish the leader of an insurrection. An actual insurrection. One that tried to overthrow the same fucking government they now control, no less.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

56. According to L.A. Police, these protests were peaceful

[Deminpenn]

57. President Miller has taken over for President Musk

now that Musk resigned from office.

[JustAnotherGen]

59. He's always been in charge

The Musk thing was a tool for this evil thing.

[mwmisses4289]

61. Start referring to him as President Miller,

watch how quickly he will be thrown out of trumps orbit.

[Deminpenn]

67. Exactly

Trump won't be able to stand someone else stealing his limelight.

[JustAnotherGen]

58. He's pulling the strings

Of the dementia riddled puppet.
