Stephen Miller’s Cousin Denounces Him in Emotional Facebook Post: “You’ve Become the Face of Evil”
In searing Facebook posts, Alisa Kasmer — who once babysat Miller — says his immigration agenda betrays their Jewish upbringing and shames their family.
WASHINGTON — In a social media posts making the rounds online, Alisa Kasmer, cousin of Trump immigration architect Stephen Miller and a woman who once babysat him as a child, has gone public with a blistering condemnation of her relative, accusing him of betraying their Jewish upbringing and weaponizing cruelty in the name of politics.

In a series of lengthy Facebook posts published July 17, Kasmer described the anguish of watching Miller — once the “awkward, funny, needy middle child” she grew up with — transform into what she called “the face of evil.” She said his role in shaping the Trump administration’s sweeping immigration crackdown has left her reeling with grief, panic attacks, and shame.
“We were raised with stories of survival,” Kasmer wrote, referencing their shared Jewish identity and the history of pogroms and the Holocaust. “We were taught to remember… to say ‘never again.’ But what you are doing breaks that sacred promise. It breaks everything we were taught.”
Kasmer said she has been shaken to her core by ICE raids in California and the Trump administration’s expanded immigration policies, which she described as “cruelty dressed up as ‘immigration policy.’” She accused Miller of targeting “hardworking, vibrant community members who are being terrorized for simply being brown.”
Her posts — raw, emotional, and at times deeply personal — frame her cousin’s rise to political power as a betrayal of family and faith. “To be this close to the cruelty, through you, has left me ashamed and shattered,” she wrote. “I grieve what you’ve become, Stephen. And I grieve what I’ve lost because of it. I grieve your children I will never meet. I grieve the future family you’ve stolen from me by choosing a path so filled with cruelty that I cannot, and will not, be a part of it.”
Kasmer also described her own mental health struggles tied to Miller’s policies, recounting panic attacks after ICE raids in Camarillo, Calif. “I cried until I couldn’t breathe,” she wrote. “Maybe it was ten years of anger and pain finally breaking through the surface. Maybe it was the most recent ICE raids turning my rage into sorrow. Whatever it was, something in me cracked wide open and has shaken me to my core.”
Her grief, she said, extends beyond her cousin to the country at large: “I grieve for the country we could be… one with unmatched wealth, intelligence, and potential. But instead, those resources and that wealth are being hoarded by a few, poisoned by ego and power, devoid of empathy, starving the rest.”
Kasmer’s words have surfaced at a time when Miller — a key figure behind Trump’s immigration agenda since his first term — has re-emerged as a central policy architect of the administration’s new enforcement regime, which includes expanded workplace raids and proposals like the “Gold Card” visa-for-cash program.
“This isn’t about politics,” Kasmer concluded. “This is about humanity. About decency. And you have lost yours.”

In an attempt to seize unconstitutional powers that will enable him to rule the USA as a dictator, Donald Trump is trying to deploy the military in Portland, Chicago, and other American cities. His goal: suppress and control American citizens that oppose his Fascist intent.
How does Trump intend to overthrow our government?
Donald Trump pardoned the violent criminals who—in response to his call—attacked a Joint Session of Congress on 1/6/2021. Some of these criminals are now ICE deployed bounty-hunters—a Gestapo-like private police force directed by Donald Trump to ignore the law, ignore due-process rights, and (before the courts can learn of their existence) kidnap People of Color and make them disappear.
Who would support Trump’s treasonous intentions?
Trump’s MAGA base includes a hopelessly corrupt Supreme Court. It includes criminals serving in the President’s Cabinet. It includes hundreds of corrupt Republican Members of Congress, thousands of corrupt Republican office-holders, and millions of Neo-Nazis who hate People-of-Color.
Led by the lifelong racist Donald Trump, these MAGA Republicans are trying to convert the USA’s Constitutional Republic into a Fascist, Christian-Nationalist, White-Supremacist Kleptocracy to be ruled in perpetuity by the Trump Family Crime Syndicate.
ICE, Trump’s personal secret police force is being expanded. In 2026, it will operate with a budget larger than the militaries of most countries in the world. Trump has deployed ICE to suppress and control, or eliminate Americans who oppose his coup attempt.
To the delight of MAGA Republicans, but in direct contravention of the Constitution, Fascist Donald Trump has banned all criticism of his criminal acts, his person, and his Presidency. (American patriots are ignoring Trump’s attempt to eliminate freedom of speech guaranteed by the 1st Amendment of the Constitution.)
The overwhelming majority of Americans reject Trump, his treasonous coup attempt, his,secret police, his Fascist Sycophants, and his ongoing criminal acts. This majority will not rest until Trump is impeached, removed from office, prosecuted, convicted, and thrown into prison.
To be fair, he’s always been
