Massive union overseeing Border Patrol demands ouster of Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller [View all]

A massive union that represents some of President Donald Trump's immigration agents called on two of the administration's top officials to resign following the killing of an ICU nurse in Minneapolis over the weekend.

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents more than 820,000 federal employees, called on Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller to either resign or be fired following the death of ICU nurse Alex Pretti.

“Our demand is clear: Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who was responsible for carrying out the policy that led to Alex’s needless killing, and Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, the architect of that policy, must resign immediately. If they refuse, President Trump must dismiss them," AFGE National President Everett Kelley said in a statement.
