White House aide Stephen Miller has repeatedly branded the Los Angeles protests an “insurrection” after fierce backlash to immigration raids. California’s leadership is now “siding with insurrectionist mobs,” and Democratic officials are “in open rebellion” against the government, according to Miller.

But the far-right architect of Donald Trump’s anti-immigration agenda appears to have himself lit the fuse, after reportedly rallying Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials to “just go out there and arrest illegal aliens.” Late last month, Miller pressed ICE officials to ramp up arrests after following short of the president’s ambitions for record-breaking daily deportations, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Federal law enforcement officers needed to “just go out there and arrest illegal aliens,” Miller told top ICE officials, according to WSJ, citing people familiar with the meeting. Rather than develop a list of targets for arrest, Miller told agents to raid Home Depot parking lots and 7-Eleven convenience stores, the newspaper reported.

Miller “eviscerated everyone,” according to recent reporting from The Washington Examiner. “‘You guys aren’t doing a good job. You’re horrible leaders,’” Miller reportedly said. “He just ripped into everybody. He had nothing positive to say about anybody, shot morale down,” an official told the outlet. Miller also allegedly bet that he and a handful of agents could arrest 30 people in the streets of Washington, D.C. “Who here thinks they can do it?” Miller reportedly said.
