Stephen Miller Totally Lost it and Yelled at Immigration Officials for Not Making Enough ArrestsTrumps deputy chief of staff and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem played good cop / bad cop in a tense summit last week.

Stephen Miller laid into immigration officials for not arresting enough people during a fiery meeting about super-charging the Trump administrations mass-deportation effort, Axios reports.
The White House deputy chief of staff is an immigration hard-liner, noted as the architect of several of Trumps immigration policies, including the Muslim travel ban and the family separation policy, but sources have told Axios that he is unhappy with the rate at which criminals are being rounded up and shipped off.
He reportedly lost it during a May 21 meeting ordering Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers triple their arrests. Two sources told Axios that they believed their jobs were in jeopardy if they failed to comply.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was also at the explosive meeting although she reportedly maintained her cool.

(19,411 posts)I still have the article open in a tab on my browser...no paywall.
They do link to Axios as the source: https://www.axios.com/2025/05/28/immigration-ice-deportations-stephen-miller
Are you sure they weren't just hitting you up to sign up for a free account?
I normally avoid paywall articles, and if there's no other option, I specify "paywall" in my post.

I've found a good anti-popup software will often prevent a paywall disappointment.

(19,411 posts)...as I said below, it seems to be a browser-specific issue. I also have this happen in certain browsers with USA Today. It tells me to turn off my ad blocking extensions or buy a subscription. I do neither. I just open up a different browser and the problem goes away.

(65,646 posts)... rate is cheap on special, like $.50/week. At the end I don't renew and in a month I get another cheap subscription. I do the same with the WaPo, but since dipshit Bezo's been shaking it up in the last couple of years, I don't read it too much.

(19,411 posts)I have about a dozen different web browsers...a hold-over from my days as a self-employed Web designer.
I can't remember which ones do it, but I get exactly what you're describing, and I just click away.
For the record, I am using Opera right now, and it's not doing it. So yes, I have seen it, and I don't know what triggers it...my VPN, the browser plugins ( I am armed to the teeth with privacy extensions), or just the coding of the browser itself. Hopefully the second link worked for you.

(103,744 posts)It's allowed me to read all of that article (which is rare - I don't usually click on links to the Beast, since it's normally a paywall - I guess it's long enough since I last did so that they give me one free), but it concludes
"Can't get enough of the Beast?

(6,616 posts)population needed to be publicly executed.
They would position the condemned in such a way that the skull, blood, and brains would fly onto those forced to watch.
People reported seeing trucks with bodies in the back, dripping blood onto the street, as they took them to mass graves.
The policy was designed to terrify the Chinese population to its core so they wouldn't challenge the CCP in anyway and to exert that anyone could be executed at any time for anything and nothing.
Seems we are just a few steps away from that as these arrests are made publicly and in some of the most terrorizing and brutal fashion.
Maybe Agent Orange and his minions are the actual Communists.

In my world, a hard-liner is someone who insists that laws be enforced, not someone who supports deporting people in the country legally. Miller does not respect immigration law. He is a racist, pure and simple. Do better, Daily Beast.
My god, journalism is so dead in this country.

(4,041 posts)How casually people drop instructions on how to avoid paywalls, and their diligence in finding ways of depriving the writer of the just source of their revenue.
Possibly the same people that rightly decry the copyright violation of AI companies hoovering up all content for model training purposes.
Yes an archive is a good thing, but was it created using a similar technique for violating copyright?
We used to pay for newspapers and that funded mostly good journalism. Now we want everything for free, and we get what we are paying for.

(239 posts)...about immigrants being criminals: "Theyre bringing drugs, theyre bringing crime, theyre rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.
Only some are good people. We were told that 21 million mostly violent criminals and drug dealers were let lose on our streets--by Democrats no less. Too many believed this lie.
But now, as the Administration rounds up students, researchers, fathers and mothers with no other criminal record, it should be very clear that lies are leading the policy.
It turns out that lying to yourself makes it very difficult to achieve your stated goals, but it does make it much easier for everyone else to see that you are a liar....
Miles Archer
(19,411 posts)...the WORST, cruelest aspects of the Kristi Noem & Stephen Miller show are the numbers of people who are being "rounded up" WHILE THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS of doing the right thing, applying for citizenship. It sends a message to other people to not even come here at all, which...since this IS Miller's ethnic cleansing wet dream come true...is most likely the message they INTEND to send.
Let's bring more white Afrikaners and Slovenian sex industry worker trophy wives. THEY pass MUSTER.
I have to trust the fact that this is still America, and that this won't go on forever. I have no evidence of that, just trust.

(239 posts)...target people trying to do the right thing because their lie of tens of millions of criminal immigrants to round up and kick out of the country evaporated into the hot air it was based on.
When it comes to exposing these lies; warning people about the impact of a trade war; warning people about the deficit impact of more tax cuts for the wealthy; warning people about cuts to social programs: none of it broke through to far too many voters. They voted against Democrats based on their grocery bill, their gas bill, and the cost of rent. They will do this again to Republicans depending on the economic conditions if--and it may be a big if--we have elections again.
The fear we all should have is that all of these moves against immigrants are just a test run and a probing of the courts for their real goal of doing it to American citizens they disagree with. Democrats need to be on the airwaves and Internet now warning of this in very clear terms so that when it happens there should be nothing confusing about what is going on. Republicans will solve your rent problem by shipping you off to a third-world country without due process and access to our legal system. What will the price of eggs matter to you then?
