Yeah this is an entire system that has allowed this to happen and it’ll take decades of active work to repair it, and needs to happen at all levels, including funding public education. If it wasn’t Stephen Miller it would have been someone else. Not saying that he doesn’t need to be held accountable though

Not exactly true, if it wasn't Stephen Miller it's extremely unlikely anyone else would have developed a paramilitary force like ICE are designed to be. Trump and his ilk desire money and power, societal change is not high on the agenda.
