The Trump administration is currently considering the possibility of invoking the Insurrection Act to address various issues, including the threat posed by cartels. Stephen Miller, the deputy chief of staff for policy under Donald Trump, stated that while there is no definitive plan to use the US military for immigration enforcement at this time, the option has not been ruled out.
Miller emphasized that the Insurrection Act is primarily being evaluated in the context of countering cartel activities along the southern border. He mentioned that no decision has been made yet regarding its implementation. In terms of interior enforcement, the focus would be on collaborating with state and local law enforcement to enhance efforts in conducting immigration raids.
As a staunch advocate for stricter immigration policies, Miller played a significant role in shaping immigration restrictions during the initial Trump administration. He supported measures such as child separation in migrant detention facilities and the implementation of a travel ban targeting individuals from predominantly Muslim countries.
