Donald Trump names Stephen Miller as White House deputy chief of staff for policy
Donald Trump is expected to announce Stephen Miller as the White House deputy chief of staff for policy in his new administration. This appointment is anticipated to solidify Miller’s influential role in shaping immigration policies, a key focus for Trump as he embarks on his second term as President.
Miller, who served as a senior adviser during Trump’s first term, is known for his hardline stance on immigration and was instrumental in developing controversial policies, including the family separation policy at the U.S.-Mexico border. He has been a central figure in Trump’s immigration strategy, advocating for significant increases in deportations, with targets exceeding one million annually during the upcoming term.
Vice President-elect JD Vance publicly supported Miller’s appointment, calling it “another fantastic pick by the president” in a post on social media. This sentiment reflects the administration’s intent to prioritize strict immigration enforcement and policies reminiscent of Trump’s previous term.
Miller has also been active since leaving office, leading America First Legal, an organization aimed at promoting conservative legal initiatives and challenging the Biden administration on various fronts, including issues related to free speech and national security. His return to a prominent role in the White House signals a continuation of the hardline immigration agenda that characterized Trump’s first presidency.
