Pool 5 - Miller gaggle otter

Miller took a wide range of questions from reporters at the sticks.

Newsy highlights:

On Chicago federal operation: "It's important to understand that immigration enforcement happened. Enforcement happens 24/7 in all communities in America. So one thing we really want to underscore is Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE, is a federal agency with a federal mission that operates 24/7 from coast to coast to border to border."

He also said the sanctuary cities not honoring detainers was an issue for ICE.

On denying visas for Palestinian delegation to the UN: "We've been very clear when it comes to our visa system that we are going to take all necessary steps to prevent our visa system from being used by individuals who may support or espouse terrorism or terrorist activity."

Also referred that question to State.

On Putin meeting (lack of meeting): "President Trump, since he came into this office, has made it his highest priority in the national security space to deliver peace, security and stability in the world. He's ended seven wars in seven months. He's made it very clear in his public statements about his priority in ending the killing in Ukraine. We're not a combatant in this war... This is a humanitarian concern.

On CDC staffing/RFK Jr: "Secretary Kennedy has been a crown jewel of this administration, who's working tirelessly to improve public health for all Americans, and again, to deal with the drivers of the chronic health crisis in this country."

"We'll find a credible nominee... As you know the CDC's credibility was shattered during the covid pandemic."
