White House adviser Stephen Miller is the last Trump official to be protested in the wake of administration's immigration policy. Miller, the architect of President Donald Trump's 'zero tolerance' policy, had about 20 protestors march around his CityCenterDC apartment building on Monday evening, handing fliers to spectators along the way. The fliers featured Miller's photo and described him as a 'white nationalist, Trump lackey, and architect of both the Muslim ban and Family Separation.' It also listed him as 'guilty' of 'kidnapping 2,500 children, crimes against humanity, Banning Muslims,' and 'Promoting Nazi, White Supremacist and Islamophobic ideologies.'

Protesters marched around Stephen Miller's DC condo building Monday evening
Miller, who was traveling with Trump to a campaign rally in Columbia, South Carolina, was not home when the protesters arrived, USA Today reported. The group, which identified themselves as 'concerned D.C. residents,' stood in front of Miller's apartment building chanting 'immigrants are welcome here.' Jesse Rabinowitz, one of the organizers of the group, criticized the Trump administration for its zero tolerance policy. 'As long as Stephen Miller and the Trump regime terrorize black and brown communities, penalize immigrants and ban Muslims, they will be met with frequent displays of public anger and moral outrage,' Rabinowitz told USA Today. This isn't the first time Miller has been a public target: A protester last week called him a 'fascist' at the Espita Mezcaleria Mexican restaurant in Washington D.C., according to the New York Post. Miller, who worked on the administration's travel ban with then-White House adviser Steve Bannon, had pushed for the 'zero tolerance' policy that led to separating immigrant families at the border, according to reports.
Trump signed an executive order last week that ended the policy. Republican Congressman Mike Coffman called for Miller to be fired over the family separation policy. 'The President should fire Stephen Miller now,' Coffman tweeted on Thursday. 'This is a human rights mess. It is on the president to clean it up and fire the people responsible for making it.' Miller is the third Trump administration officials in the past week to face a crowd of displeased citizens. Last Tuesday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was confronted by protesters as she dined at MXDC Cocina Mexicana restaurant.

Democratic lawmaker Maxine Waters called on citizens to assail Trump administration officials in public when they see them
On Friday, the owner of the Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Virginia, asked Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders to leave because of her ties to Trump. The 32-year-old Miller has been part of the Trump team since January 2016, where he was a warm-up act during the primary and general 2016 election. He has a history of conservative politics throughout high school and college, according to CNN profile, and he eventually landed a job with then Congresswoman Michele Bachmann. He later ended working on immigration policy for then-Sen. Jeff Sessions, who went on to be attorney general for Trump. Miller's role in shaping immigration policy continued when he took a senior advisor position in Trump's White House and lawmakers took notice. 'As long as Stephen Miller is in charge of negotiating immigration we're going nowhere,' Republican Sen. Lindsay Graham said in January. The incident at Miller's building comes after Democratic lawmaker Maxine Waters encouraged her supporters to harass members of Trump's administration. Trump took to twitter to slam her as as 'an extraordinarily low IQ person.' 'Congresswoman Maxine Waters, an extraordinarily low IQ person, has become, together with Nancy Pelosi, the Face of the Democrat Party. She has just called for harm to supporters, of which there are many, of the Make America Great Again movement. Be careful what you wish for Max! ,' Trump tweeted Monday. He also criticized in his remarks in South Carolina on Monday evening and in a second tweet on Tuesday morning. Sanders heaped a second helping of scorn Monday on Waters, telling reporters that the liberal firebrand's open call for harassment of Trump supporters is 'unacceptable.' 'This weekend,' Sanders said Monday, 'a member of Congress called for people to 'push back' and make clear to those serving their country in this administration that they are not welcome anywhere, anytime, for anything.' 'We are allowed to disagree, but we should be able to do so freely and without fear of harm,' Sanders said. 'And this goes for all people regardless of politics.' Republicans and Democrats alike condemned Waters' call for public harassment. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi on Monday called Waters remarks 'unacceptable' while firmly placing the deterioration of discourse on the sitting president.
