Donald Trump has named his longtime adviser, Stephen Miller, as the deputy chief of policy for his upcoming administration, signaling a firm stance on immigration.
Known for his hard-line policies, Miller has had a major influence on Trump’s approach to immigration since his first term.
As an adviser, he was a central figure in the controversial 2018 family separation policy, designed to deter immigration.
Vice President-elect JD Vance praised Trump’s choice, calling it a “fantastic pick.” Vance shared his support on social media, congratulating Miller on X (formerly Twitter).
Miller’s experience includes founding America First Legal, a conservative group that challenges policies on free speech, religion, and national security, often pushing back against the Biden administration.
During Trump’s first term, Miller’s speeches and strategies were key elements in forming Trump’s immigration policies, which emphasized strict enforcement and security.
His new role in Trump’s administration suggests these policies may continue to play a prominent role.
