Stephen Miller said that Governor J.B. Pritzker could be arrested for engaging in a “criminal conspiracy.”

When asked by Fox host Will Cain on Friday under what authority a governor could potentially be arrested, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff said that the Department of Justice “has made clear that if officials cross that line into obstruction, into criminal conspiracy against the United States or against ICE officers, then they will face justice.”

Miller’s statement comes after President Donald Trump claimed that Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Pritzker should be “in jail for failing to protect ICE officers.”

On Oct. 23, the Illinois governor signed an executive order establishing the “Illinois Accountability Commission,” which will track “abuses” and hold Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents “accountable” following the Department of Homeland Security’s launch of “Operation Midway Blitz” in Chicago.

    The Governors failing to protect the people who the governor sued the federal government for sending there. What the hell judge would ever be able to uphold any of it. Is it possible, maybe but it’s like me going to a bar and being told to leave because I was banned, sneaking in the backdoor, the bar tender telling me to leave and then throwing a punch at the bouncer and expecting a judge to say the establishment failed to keep me safe when the bouncer threw me on the curb.
