By
Ben Penn, Celine Castronuovo
Summary
White House adviser Stephen Miller was the driving force behind a Justice Department memo that authorizes states to institutionalize people with disabilities rather than fund community-based care. Miller, frustrated with DOJ's Civil Rights Division settlements that compelled states to move people with mental illness out of institutions, pushed for the policy shift. The memo represents a significant rollback of disability rights protections and community integration mandates.
