🤖 Conclusion [70/100]: The statement contains several claims, each with varying degrees of support:

  1. Stephen Miller calling the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles "an insurrection against the laws and sovereignty of the United States" is strongly supported by multiple reputable sources (e.g., The Straits Times) which directly quote Miller's words to that effect. This part of the statement is verified.

  2. The claim that "over 800 rioters trapped DHS agents in a garage, and breached the building, causing mass damage" is more disputed. One referenced source (countylocalnews.com) explicitly verifies the details, but this outlet’s reliability is questionable compared to mainstream outlets. Official DHS statements confirm significant violence, assaults on officers, and the surrounding of buildings, but do not clearly corroborate the specifics ("trapped in a garage," "breached the building"). Furthermore, the quoted DHS statement cites "over 1,000 rioters" and mentions assaults and vandalism, but not specifically trapping agents or building breaches with mass damage. Thus, the supporting evidence here is weaker and less consistent.

  3. The claim that "National Guard must be deployed" was called for by Stephen Miller is not supported by any direct quote or clear evidence. Miller used insurrection language, but there is no conclusive proof from the sources that he explicitly called for National Guard deployment as part of his statement.

In summary, the statement is partially true: the quote from Miller regarding an “insurrection” is well-sourced, but the specifics of the riot’s events and Miller’s alleged call for the National Guard are less reliably confirmed. I assign a truthfulness score of 70.
