White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Monday that it’s “ridiculous” for Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) to blame White House aide Stephen Miller for the stalled immigration negotiations.
At the center of the fight is the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which Trump said last year he would rescind while providing Congress with a window of time to craft a legislative replacement.
Democrats are pushing for legislation to protect recipients of DACA, which shields immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children from deportation.
