Stephen Miller’s War: Documentary Investigates Immigration Operations and Deaths
The Fault Lines documentary 'Stephen Miller’s War' examines his role in immigration operations that led to deaths and the lack of accountability.
A new documentary titled 'Stephen Miller’s War' traces the rise of Stephen Miller from right-wing provocateur to one of the most powerful figures in modern US history. The film focuses on the immigration enforcement operations he designed, which were carried out in Democratic-led cities.
According to the film, Alex Pretti was killed by immigration agents in Minneapolis during Operation Metro Surge. Shortly after, Miller publicly labelled him a domestic terrorist. This statement outraged Minnesotans and Americans across the country who were still mourning the death of Renee Good, who had been killed just weeks earlier during the same enforcement operation.
The deaths triggered a series of dismissals and resignations across multiple agencies. However, accountability has yet to reach Stephen Miller, the architect of Operation Metro Surge and at least nine other immigration enforcement operations that deployed Border Patrol and ICE agents onto the streets of democratically run cities nationwide.
The film investigates why Miller directed the Department of Homeland Security to carry out these operations and examines why he has not been held accountable for the deaths and alleged abuses that occurred under his leadership. It also explores Miller's role in using immigration enforcement as a tool to expand executive power and advance what critics describe as a new era of authoritarian governance in the United States.
