Obama Aide Lays Into ‘Weirdo' Stephen Miller in Fiery Clash
Ex-Barack Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau continued his beef with White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller on Tuesday after the pair got into a very public name-calling spat a day earlier. Favreau celebrated the Trump administration's first 100 Days by posting a video highlighting some of Miller's apparent accomplishments. Among those was the administration's deportation of a 4-year-old child with cancer. 'The words 'normal' and 'human' aren't typically used to describe Stephen Miller, my White House predecessor and current Twitter bestie,' Favreau said in the clip, titled, 'What @StephenM has accomplished in 100 Days.' The two had argued on X on Monday night over the span of six hours; Miller calling Favreau a 'remorseless sociopath' and Favreau retaliating by calling him and the Trump administration 'insecure little b---hes.' Favreau reiterated Miller's 'remorseless sociopath' accusations on Tuesday, pleading with viewers: 'let's not give Stephen Miller what he wants. Make sure he knows we're not afraid of his bulls--- and we're not afraid of a guy who got stuffed in one too many lockers at Santa Monica High School.' He finished by labelling Miller a 'f---ing weirdo.' It all started when Favreau slid his way into a back-and-forth argument on X between Miller and Delaware Rep. Sarah McBride, with the Trump aide berating McBride for being transgender. 'The lead healthcare spokesman for the House Democrats is a man pretending to be a woman,' he wrote on X. Their argument came to a close when Miller claimed he 'won't stop protecting American children' from abuse in the form of 'mutilating trans surgeries, disfiguring medical amputations and irreversible chemical castrations.' That's when Favreau stepped in, reminding Miller: 'You just deported a 4-year-old citizen with cancer so it doesn't seem like you give a shit about protecting American children.' Less than an hour later, Miller responded: 'Jon: you supported a president, Joe Biden, who imported child rapists and trafficked half a million children. The Trump Administration ended child trafficking across the border.' He added how 'your shrill, lying propaganda will not erase or reduce your complicity in these monstrous crimes.' Favreau didn't back down, instead advising Miller to 'spend less time on your deportation porn lawn signs and more time on your legal arguments now that a Trump judge has asked you to dispel his 'strong suspicion that the Government just deported a U.S. citizen with no meaningful process.'' The comment was a reference to the bizarre stunt the administration pulled Monday, which left the north lawn of the White House littered with mugshots of undocumented migrants staffers claimed were arrested during Trump's second term. The posters were strategically placed along 'Pebble Beach,' which is the background for many tV correspondents' live shots. A White House official told Axios that their goal was to have them show up on air. Miller took insult to this jab, telling Favreau that he thought his predecessor was just a 'hapless moron,' but now sees he's a 'remorseless sociopath.' 'The photos you find so amusing, Jon, are the mug shots of illegal aliens who raped and tortured women and children — the illegals that Democrats are fighting to protect' Miller wrote. Favreau fired back: 'Yeah, we didn't litter the White House lawn with photos of criminals deported under Obama because we weren't insecure little b---hes.' 'Not sure why you think any of us need protecting from a 4-year-old cancer patient or a pregnant mother but I guess that's why you're so beloved,' he quipped. But the argument wasn't over. Miller added a 'PS' claiming that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement 'honors' migrant's requests to bring their children home with them. Favreau couldn't help himself from responding with his own 'PPS,' citing evidence of a mother being forced to be deported with her U.S.-born children. 'You're lying like you lie about everything, which is why you keep causing your boss to lose in court over and over again, even in front of judges he appointed,' he said. Miller was already fighting hard Monday against polls from various news outlets that showed Trump's disapproval ratings sitting at around 55 percent. 'I don't want to make things awkward for you, John, but it is our opinion that Fox News needs to fire its pollster,' Miller told Fox News anchor John Roberts Monday, who described the president's approval ratings as 'well underwater.'

Officials warn of fake ICE agents as students continue walk-outs in Southern California
Students from Santa Monica High School are joining groups across Southern California as they once again walk out of schools in protest of President Donald Trump's immigration policies. An Instagram account created to organize Thursday's walk-out wrote in a post that SAMOHI students are protesting 'the Trump Administration's reactionary far right policies.' 'We are walking out with four other schools, Malibu, Culver, Venice, and University, to demand that our cities and school administrations fight to protect our education as well as vulnerable migrant and LGBTQ+ students,' said the post. As the protests continue, concerns are growing about fake law enforcement or Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents reported in Los Angeles. 'This has the effect of generating fear within our communities,' said Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho in a notice posted to X on Wednesday evening. 'Please be advised that falsely impersonating a local, state, or federal agency or law enforcement official is illegal.' 'The District stands in strong condemnation of those who would seek to intimidate or disrupt those in and around our schools and will work in partnership with school police and law enforcement partners to address any and all violations targeted against our school communities,' Carvalho's statement continued to say. Schools in the L.A. area have been handing out 'Know Your Rights' cards, which let students know their legal protections if approached by a legitimate agent with ICE. KTLA's Kimberly Cheng was out front of SAMOHI on Thursday afternoon as the protests began, and as she was interviewing a student on live television, a protestor spoke over a projection, organizing the group to get ready to head to City Hall. Minutes later, Sky5 was overhead and could see what appeared to be hundreds of students in downtown Los Angeles on day three of student protests and day five of mass deportations protests overall. 'I personally have family members who are immigrants and fought for my rights to be here, so we have every right to be here and he shouldn't be sending anybody back,' one SAMOHI student told KTLA. 'I don't think that Trump understands all the work that immigrants do.' One of the other dozens of students seen outside SAMOHI told KTLA 'I'm marching out today to help everybody that I love, these are all my people.' Some students and parents who stand in support of those protesting the president's immigration policies said they are also marching out for other reasons, such as to protest rollbacks of environmental safety procedures and to stand in support of transgender rights. On Sunday, a massive protest formed in downtown Los Angeles in response to Trump's crackdown on immigration and emphasis on deportations, where protestors were on and off the 101 Freeway and on surface streets well into the evening. In the days that followed, 'Day Without Immigrants' protests continued to take place and occasionally affected traffic in the city. Officials urge those participating in protests to keep them peaceful and to avoid such major roadways for their safety. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
