Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Stephen Miller’s Uncle: My Nephew Is an “Immigration Hypocrite”

HeadlineAug 14, 2018

White House senior adviser Stephen Miller is facing public criticism from his own family for his hard-line anti-immigrant views. Miller’s uncle wrote an op-ed in Politico on Monday calling his nephew an “immigration hypocrite” for pushing for the Muslim travel ban, the radical decrease in refugees and the separation of migrant children from their parents at the border. Miller’s uncle, David Glosser, wrote, “If my nephew’s ideas on immigration had been in force a century ago, our family would have been wiped out.” He went on to describe how Miller’s family managed to come to the United States before the “America First” nativists of the day closed U.S. borders to Jewish refugees.
