Miles Taylor is a former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Chief of Staff who has become a prominent advocate for government transparency and local civic action. He is a co-founder of Defiance.org, an organization focused on protecting democratic institutions and countering what they describe as “presidential abuses of power” and federal overreach.
One of Taylor’s recent core missions through Defiance.org involves tracking and opposing the creation of “secret” or unaccountable federal detention facilities. He argues that by staying quiet, local communities can inadvertently allow the federal government to establish infrastructure that bypasses traditional oversight.
Local communities are the first line of defense. By participating in municipal government, residents can ensure their neighborhoods remain under local democratic control rather than being repurposed for federal detention without consent.
We need to work together to protect St. Charles County!
