Miles Taylor
Miles Taylor is a former official in the Department of Homeland Security who gained national attention in 2018 when he penned an anonymous op-ed for The New York Times, declaring himself part of the 'resistance' against President Donald Trump's administration. His critique of Trump's policies and governance resonated widely and contributed to a significant public discourse around dissent within the government. After leaving his position, Taylor continued to voice his criticisms of Trump, ultimately publishing a book detailing his experiences. Recently, he was in the news as Trump announced plans to target him and another former official for their critical stances against his presidency, stripping Taylor of any remaining security clearances and calling for investigations into their actions.
