Stephen Miller DOJ memo authorizes states to institutionalize people with disabilities, advocates say

Cheyenne Ubiera
Summary
A memo authored by Stephen Miller and released by the Department of Justice authorizes states to institutionalize people with disabilities, reversing previous bipartisan support for community-based resources and services for differently abled individuals. Disability advocates have strongly criticized the move, which reportedly stemmed from Miller's frustration with the DOJ's Civil Rights Division continuing to enforce settlements that protected the rights of people with disabilities to live in community settings rather than institutions.
