Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller — President Trump’s top two lieutenants on immigration policy — arrived at a major MAGA Mar-a-Lago wedding together Sunday in an apparent show of unity after spending the week blaming each other over the fallout from the ICE crackdown in Minnesota.
Noem and Miller were all smiles as they arrive at President Trump’s Florida for the wedding of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino Sunday, with no hint that the two had spent recent days pointing fingers for the deadly shootings of two US citizens by immigration agents last month.
Homeland Security Secretary Noem last week said that her decision to call anti-ICE protestors Renee Good and Alex Pretti “domestic terrorists” came from Miller after she was pulled from Minnesota in an attempt to quell growing backlash.
“Everything I’ve done, I’ve done at the direction of the president and Stephen,” she told Axios after calls began to grow – even among some Republicans – for her resignation.
Miller, however, blamed agents from Noem’s department for Pretti’s shooting and other violence on the ground in Minnesota.
“The White House provided clear guidance to [DHS] that the extra personnel that had been sent to Minnesota for force protection should be used for conducting fugitive operations to create a physical barrier between the arrest teams and the disruptors,” Miller told The Post.
“We are evaluating why the [Customs and Border Protection] team may not have been following that protocol,’ he added.
The White House, however, has insisted that Trump’s administration is unified over its approach to the immigration operations being carried out in Minnesota – with Noem and Miller’s arrival together at the Sunday wedding perhaps intended to demonstrate that.
“The President’s entire immigration enforcement team are on the same page. They are working together seamlessly to implement the President’s agenda, protect the American people, and deport criminal illegal aliens,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson previously told The Post.
