北卡罗来纳州共和党参议员汤姆·蒂利斯周日表示,总统特朗普的两位顶级顾问——白宫副幕僚长斯蒂芬·米勒和国土安全部部长克里斯蒂·诺姆,”没有妥善维护”特朗普在移民和边境安全问题上的”遗产”。
“你们听过我谈论斯蒂芬·米勒,也知道我对克里斯蒂·诺姆的看法,”蒂利斯在《面对全国》节目中对玛格丽特·布伦南说,”这些人不会未雨绸缪,也没有在维护这位总统的遗产。”
2026年不寻求连任的蒂利斯表示,他相信共和党能够保住参议院多数席位。但他承认,共和党要想保住众议院多数席位可能会更加困难。
“我对众议院的情况存疑,部分原因是我认为在重新划分选区时可能有些操之过急,”他说。应特朗普的要求,共和党在得克萨斯州启动了中期十年重新划分选区工作,以净增最多5个席位,但其他州的民主党人则回应称要为自己争取更多席位,这使得结果难以预测。
但蒂利斯表示,他对共和党在中期选举中获胜机会的”不满”,”几乎总是与我认为的做事方式有关”。
蒂利斯称赞总统在北约问题上的国家安全政策,并表示他打算维护这一遗产。
“如果我必须直言不讳,我会在参议院剩余任期内这么做,”蒂利斯说。
上个月,移民局特工在明尼阿波利斯市特朗普政府打击行动中开枪打死两名美国公民——雷尼·古德和亚历克斯·普雷蒂后,米勒和诺姆受到了审查。这一行动被称为”地铁突袭行动”,移民执法人员针对明尼阿波利斯地区的无证件移民,但白宫边境问题负责人汤姆·霍曼周四宣布,这一有争议的行动将在下周前结束。
蒂利斯一直批评米勒和诺姆,称他们是”业余人士”。他是首位公开要求诺姆辞职的共和党人,指责她在移民问题上把政府”搞垮”,而这一问题本应是共和党”应承担责任”的。
“但他们因为无能,已经毁掉了共和党本应拥有的、让总统当选的成果,”蒂利斯此前在国会山对记者说。
不过,蒂利斯尚未表态是否会投票弹劾诺姆,而弹劾需要参议院三分之二多数票支持。已有187名众议院民主党人联署支持针对诺姆的弹劾决议,但该决议不太可能获得简单多数票通过。

Sen. Thom Tillis says Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem are “not taking care of” Trump’s legacy
Updated on: February 15, 2026 / 2:19 PM EST / CBS News
Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina said Sunday that two of President Trump’s top advisers, White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, “are not taking care of” Mr. Trump’s “legacy” on immigration and border security.
“You’ve heard me talk about Stephen Miller, you know my opinion about Kristi Noem,” Tillis told Ed O’Keefe on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan.” “These are people that don’t look around corners and are not taking care of this president’s legacy.”
Tillis, who is not running for reelection in 2026, said he believed that Republicans could hold onto its majority in the Senate. But he admitted that it could be more difficult for Republicans to keep a majority in the House.
“I have questions about the House, and some of that comes from what I believe may have been a little bit of overreach with respect to redistricting,” he said. Republicans kicked off mid-decade redistricting in Texas to net up to five seats for Republicans at the behest of Mr. Trump, but Democrats in other states responded to net more seats for themselves, making the outcome unlikely.
But Tillis said his “beef” about the GOP’s chances in the midterms “almost always relates to what I consider to be how things are being done.”
Tillis praised the president’s national security policy concerning NATO and said he intends to shield his legacy.
“And if I have to speak bluntly, that’s what I’m going to do in my remaining time in the Senate,” Tillis said.
Miller and Noem have faced scrutiny following the shooting deaths of two American citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, last month by immigration agents amid the Trump administration’s crackdown in Minneapolis. Dubbed Operation Metro Surge, immigration enforcement agents have targeted undocumented immigrants in the Minneapolis area, but White House border czar Tom Homan announced Thursday that the controversial operation will conclude by next week.
Tillis has been critical of Miller and Noem and called them “amateurs.” He was the first Republican to publicly demand Noem’s resignation, accusing her of taking the administration “into the ground” on the issue of immigration that Republicans “should own.”
“But they have destroyed that for Republicans, something that got the president elected,” Tillis earlier told reporters on Capitol Hill. “They have destroyed it through their incompetence.”
But Tillis has not said whether he would vote to impeach Noem, which would require a two-thirds vote in the Senate. 187 House Democrats have cosponsored the impeachment resolution against Noem, but it is unlikely to clear a simple majority.
