Stephen Miller’s figures that one million immigrants have already self-deported are false, according to a senior fellow from a pro-immigrant nonprofit organization.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, from American Immigration Council, called Miller’s claims “a completely made-up figure” in an interview with Slate’s podcast Amicus.

The emphasis on self-deportation aims to “spread fear through these undocumented communities,” he says, following the significant quota increase Miller implemented after meeting with 25 field office directors of the ICE Homeland Security Investigations.
