US ‘shadow president’ Stephen Miller threatens New York after Muslim socialist wins mayoral election

Far-right, Israel fanatic Trump adviser Stephen Miller, the man behind Trump’s racist immigration policy and his war on legal immigrants, has been called the US’s ‘shadow president‘, a worse traitor than a kapo and, one of the worst people in the world.

As just two of the many examples of his status as an absolute horror, Miller has denied (Guerrero 2020) that segregation ever existed and has described torture as “a celebration of life and human dignity”.

As the man behind Trump’s bans on Muslim immigrants and the organiser of a national Islamophobic campaign, Stephen Miller really, really doesn’t like Muslims. It showed again this week when Muslim immigrant Zohran Mamdani trounced ‘independent’ Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa to become mayor-elect of New York City.

Stephen Miller is a ‘sore loser’

Miller, like his boss, had endorsed Cuomo at the last minute in the mayoral contest, despite Cuomo having tried — and failed dismally — to become the Democratic Party’s candidate, losing out heavily to Mamdani. But his reaction to Mamdani’s victory in the election this week has been described as a new low even for Miller — who made what appears to be a threat to deport New Yorkers, and their children, for daring to ignore his and Trump’s wishes.

In a deeply sinister post on X, Miller posted a quote from the New York City government website referring to the number of families with members who were not born in the US. It notes that almost half of NYC families have at least one foreign-born member and that almost two-thirds of the city’s children, four out of five of them US-born citizens, live in those households — and will be affected by any changes to federal immigration laws separating families:

Household and Family Types
Family Household Types by Immigration Status(%)
Almost 50 percent of New Yorkers live in family households with at least one immigrant. Over one million children, equaling 62 percent of all children in New York City, live in a household with at least one foreign-born family member. Of the one million New Yorkers who live in mixed-status households, 265,500 or 27 percent are children. 80 percent of these children, are U.S.-born citizens. Mixed status households demonstrate that all New Yorkers are impacted by federal policies that separate families.

According to US political commentators, the threat is clear: you’ve voted for a socialist, Muslim mayor and we’re going to punish you — even deport you, or your parents, or your children.

It reads as a declaration of war on New York City by a regime that has already sent troops into four US cities which don’t support it. A regime that conducted mass raids on apartment blocks, arrested and deported US citizens including a child with cancer, killed tens of people arbitrarily placed into custody — and which has said openly that it wants to deport even native-born US citizens it doesn’t like.

And a declaration of war on what remains of US ‘democracy’, too.
