Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) has been a steadfast opponent of illegal immigration. In recent years, she has blasted Democrats for enabling illegal immigrants to enter the country, regularly speaking out against sanctuary cities and demanding immigration reform. The Republican congresswoman took the battle over illegal immigration and sanctuary cities to her state’s governor, calling for Illinois sheriffs to defy Gov. JB Pritzker’s (D-IL) sanctuary law. 

In a press release issued on Tuesday, Miller insisted that Pritzker “uphold President Trump’s federal immigration policies and cooperate with ICE to deport illegal aliens.”
