White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller said Sunday that the administration is considering a range of actions to push through President Donald Trump's 90-day ban on nationals from seven majority-Muslim countries.

"We are considering and pursuing all options. Those options include seeking an emergency stay at the Supreme Court, continuing the appeal with the panel, having an emergency hearing en banc, or going to the trial court at the district level." Also being considered is "the possibility of new executive actions designed to prevent terrorist infiltration of our country," Miller said during an interview with Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday."


"But I want to say something very clearly, and this is going to be very disappointing to the people protesting the president and the people in Congress like Sen. [Chuck] Schumer who've attacked the president for his lawful and necessary actions. The president's powers here are beyond question."

Miller went on to argue that the president has broad constitutional authority to "to also engage in conducting border control and immigration control into this country. Those powers are substantial. They represent the very apex of constitutional authority, and so we are contemplating new and additional actions to ensure our immigration system does not become the vehicle for admitting people into our country who are hostile to its nation and its values."

In an interview with Chuck Todd of NBC News, Miller argued that, despite claims from critics, the travel ban was not intended to keep Muslims from entering the country.

"We simply took that intelligence assessment and we took firm action to restrict entry," Miller said on "Meet the Press."

"And the bottom line is the president of the United States ... has the power to control who enters our country. And you know and I know that no foreign national living in Yemen or any other country has a constitutional right to demand entry into our country."

Miller's comments in both interviews came after a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled unanimously against the Justice Department's request to lift a ruling by Judge James Robart blocking the ban.

"The three judges made a broad, overreaching statement about the ability to check the executive power and do not address what I was talking about," Miller said, adding that the 9th Circuit "has a long history of being overturned and a long history of overreaching."

Trump did not appear on any Sunday morning shows, but he did tweet out thanks to Miller: "Congratulations Stephen Miller on representing me this on the various Sunday morning shows. Great job!"
