Heated Exchange in the White House
Stephen Miller, senior adviser to former President Trump, clashed with CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins during a tense Oval Office moment. The confrontation stunned those in the room.
Deportation Question Sparks Tension
The argument erupted when Collins questioned Miller about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national mistakenly deported by the Trump administration.
Miller Fires Back
As media pressure mounted over the diplomatic fallout, Miller responded with visible frustration.
“It’s very arrogant, even for American media, to suggest we tell El Salvador how to handle their own citizens,” a U.S. official quoted him as saying.
Diplomatic Strain Grows
The incident deepened tensions between the U.S. and El Salvador. Both governments blamed each other for mishandling Garcia’s case.
More broadly, the moment highlighted the ongoing challenges of immigration policy and international diplomacy.
