Question

Trump's potentional deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller said he wants to deport naturalized citizens.

Answer 1

This claim is false, extremely misleading, and comes from a heavily interactive web application, making it an unreliable source. I looked into Stephen Miller’s political plans and found an npr article that states “The role puts Miller back at the White House where he is expected to take on a leading role writing and implementing Trump's immigration agenda, which includes plans for mass deportations of undocumented immigrants.” His plans include the deportation of undocumented immigrants, with no mention of naturalized citizens.

Thanks for clarifying the deportation plan that includes undocumented immigrants -- not naturalized citizens.

Answer 2

I could not find any evidence of Stephen Miller saying this from legitimate news sources. While his immigration policies are tough and do largely focus on deportation, there is no hard evidence that says he plans to deport naturalized citizens, and social media posts are often not a reliable source of political news. This New York Times article outlines Miller's role and what he has said about his plans for immigration.

Hi Olive_Pritchard, this fact-check is very informative and good to have because this claim is misleading and could scare people when they see it.

This fact-check is good, but some more evidence on Miller's plan from multiple sources would be better. The NYT tends to lean in a specific political direction, so it can make your argument seem a little one-sided.
