🤖 Conclusion [40/100]: The statement consists of two core claims: (1) that Stephen Miller called the LA anti-ICE riots an "insurrection against the laws and sovereignty of the United States," and (2) that over 800 rioters trapped DHS agents in a garage, breached the building, and caused mass damage. The first claim is supported by at least one news source confirming Miller's use of the word "insurrection" to describe the protests in LA. The second claim, however, is far more controversial. While a single source (countylocalnews.com) echoes the statement almost verbatim, other references either do not corroborate these specific details or refer to incidents in other cities (such as Portland). Major and more credible news outlets do not report the alleged 'trapping' of DHS agents or mass damage in Los Angeles at the described scale. Therefore, while Miller's rhetoric is verified, the factual details about the riot's scope and DHS being trapped are not widely substantiated and may rely on less reliable sources. Based on this, the overall truthfulness of the statement is limited, mainly due to lack of corroboration for the more sensational aspects.
