Stephen Miller’s cousin Alisa Kasmer has publicly disowned him, accusing the Trump adviser of betraying their Jewish heritage by becoming “the face of evil” behind the administration’s hardline immigration policies.
Stephen Miller, senior adviser and longtime aide to former President Donald Trump, has once again faced a public rebuke from within his own family, this time from his cousin Alisa Kasmer, who accused him of becoming “the face of evil” through his role in shaping the administration’s immigration policies.
In a lengthy Facebook post that resurfaced over the weekend, Kasmer, who lives in Los Angeles, recalled babysitting Miller as a child, describing him as “awkward, funny, needy” but “always the sweetest with the littlest family members.” She lamented his transformation into an architect of family separations, ICE raids, and quotas for arrests, policies that she said betrayed their shared Jewish heritage.
“I am living with the deep pain of watching someone I once loved become the face of evil,” Kasmer wrote. “I grieve what you’ve become, Stephen… I will never knowingly let evil into my life, no matter whose blood it carries—including my own.”
Kasmer said their family traditions emphasized resilience in the face of pogroms, ghettos, and the Holocaust, with a constant reminder of “never again.” She questioned Miller’s decision to inflict cruelty on others, asking, “How can you do to others what has been done to us?”
Her remarks echoed those of Miller’s uncle, David Glosser, who in 2018 called him an “immigration hypocrite” in Politico. Kasmer revealed that most of Miller’s extended family had also disowned him, leaving only his immediate relatives supportive of his work.
The White House has not commented on Kasmer’s post.
