The top U.S. diplomat to Latin America resigned this week amid tension over President Trump’s immigration policies, the Associated Press reported.
Two officials and a congressional aide who spoke to the AP offered varying rationales for Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Kimberly Breier’s exit. The two officials said her departure was centered on family issues, but the congressional aide pointed to a difference of opinion on immigration policy on asylum with Guatemala as reason for the exit.
According to the Washington Post, which first reported Breier’s departure, the top diplomat was recently scolded in an email chain by White House policy adviser and unofficial hardline immigration reform champion Stephen Miller. Miller reportedly said Breier was not publicly defending the Guatemala asylum agreement strongly enough. The agreement requires Central American migrants to first seek asylum in Guatemala before they can do so in America.
Breier was also unhappy with the White House’s level of interference on issues related to immigration and trade with Mexico, according to the Post.
When did we elect Stephen Miller?
What kind of clearance does Miller have?
When will Congress make those UNELECTED Trump officials like Jarvanka & Miller accountable?
The poster child for this administration’s deluge of empowered sociopaths.
So much hate for one so young.
Exactly. What kind of malleable spineless worm must Miller be to still be at the WH? It takes so little for Trump now fall out of love with his best people in various governmental positions, You’d really have to be a sycophantic succubus (incubus?) to hang on as long as he has.
Hope she turns this opportunity into a target on Stephen Miller’s back by publicly shaming him.
He’s up there clustered with Cheatolini and Yertle on my “people I most want to see incarcerated/castrated”…(the latter politically, of course, not actually – although there are days…)
He’s not malleable and he’s not spineless. He’s a hate-filled sociopath who understands precisely, even better than Bannon or Ivanka, how to stoke DJT’s vilest impulses toward performative cruelty.
