White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller has defended the Trump administration’s immigration raids in California by pointing to all the trafficked children that are being found.
“Everywhere you look in California, you see industrial child exploitation on a massive scale, an industrial scale,” he said Friday on Fox News’ “The Story.”
“There are likely hundreds of thousands of children in California who are being exploited for their labor or sexually exploited as part of sex trafficking. This administration is liberating these children and helping reunify them with their parents back in their home country,” he added.
He blamed this abundance of exploited illegal alien children, namely, on former President Joe Biden’s open border policies, but also partly on California Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Democrat Party as well.
“We recently recovered a young illegal alien, for example, who had been raped repeatedly by the adult male that the Biden administration handed her to,” he said. “She was under constant video surveillance and was coached exactly what to say if an officer ever knocked on her door so that she would never be rescued.”
“We have example after example. We go to homes [where] 13, 14, 15-year-old children are raped on a daily basis because the Biden administration, because the Democrat Party, chose to trap them into this country. So we will be unrelenting in our effort to free these kids,” he added.
Speaking of saving children, earlier this week, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents found around a dozen unaccompanied illegal alien children working on a marijuana farm in Southern California.
For raiding the farm, the administration has been facing heavy criticism (not to mention some violence) from the left and its media allies. But Miller also fiercely defended the farm raid.
“The president has been clear and consistent in saying that he’s going to fight labor trafficking and child trafficking; and this marijuana plantation is a clear-cut example of labor trafficking and child trafficking, which are heinous crimes,” he said.
“Additionally, I don’t know of anybody — except the governor of California — who would argue that a marijuana plantation is an essential component of America’s food supply chain,” he added.
The latter remark referenced this tweet below from Newsom:

Miller continued his Fox News remarks by describing what Los Angeles would “look like without illegal aliens.”
“You would be able to see a doctor in the emergency room right away — no wait time, no problem,” he said. “Your kids would go to a public school that had more money than they’d know what to do with. Classrooms would be half the size. Students who had special needs would get all the attention that they needed.”
“There would be no violent transnational gangs. There would be no cartels. There would be no Mexican mafia. There would be no Surenos. There would be no MS-13. There would be no TDA. You would be living in a city that would be safe, that would be clean. There would be no fentanyl. There would be no drug dens,” he added.
“That could be the future Los Angeles could have, but the leaders in Los Angeles have formed an alliance with the cartels and the criminal aliens,” he concluded.
He wasn’t wrong. Just this Friday, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass signed an executive order to support illegal alien communities, including by offering them taxpayer-funded cash assistance in response to the ongoing immigration raids.

Karen Bass, you’re an absolute disgrace. Handing out cash to immigrants caught in raids? What kind of brain-dead, traitorous nonsense is this?

The Trump White House wasn’t pleased by her move.
“Recent immigration enforcement in California has resulted in successfully detaining countless violent criminals and liberating children from illegal labor exploitation,” a spokesperson told Fox News. “But instead of helping these children or putting American citizens first, Bass is doubling down on her defense of illegal aliens.”
