“Excellent,” wrote Miller.

On April 17, 2018, Miller thanked Hamilton for a press release on the denaturalization of a child sex abuser.
In May 2018, Maria Espinoza, the director of the anti-immigrant Remembrance Project, emailed Miller about a 28-year-old murder case. Miller forwarded the email to Hamilton and discussed it with him.
In another instance, Miller, Hamilton, and former Breitbart journalist Julia Hahn discussed a Daily Caller inquiry on the immigration status of Iraqi parents arrested for child abuse.
These instances further demonstrate Stephen Miller and other Trump officials’ desire to push anti-immigrant propaganda and the coordination behind that push.
But there’s more.

The records also suggest Miller tasked Hamilton with providing legal justifications for Miller’s draconian immigration policy ideas including the public charge rule, migrant protection protocols, and using immigration fees to pay for the border wall.
These documents provide insight into DOJ’s role in shaping the Trump administration’s anti-immigrant agenda. We obtained these documents as part of our lawsuit for Miller's communications with government agencies:
