NEW: Trump's White House tried to pressure US immigration authorities into releasing immigrant detainees onto the streets of “sanctuary cities,” including in @SpeakerPelosi's district, as retaliation against Trump’s political foes.

This is insane.

The Trump White House believed it could punish Democrats — including Pelosi — by busing and releasing ICE detainees into their districts, according to 2 DHS whistleblowers who independently reported the Stephen Miller-led busing plan to Congress.

“The extent of this admin’s cynicism and cruelty cannot be overstated,” said @SpeakerPelosi spox @AshleyEtienne09. “Using human beings — including little children — as pawns in their warped game to perpetuate fear and demonize immigrants is despicable.”
The White House denied moving forward with Stephen Miller's plan to "dump migrants onto the streets of sanctuary cities as retaliation against Trump’s political foes," but Trump just confirmed he IS considering the plan, which demonizes immigrants.
