Trump picks loyalist Miller for key immigration role

President-elect Donald Trump has named longtime adviser Stephen Miller as Deputy Chief of Policy in his new administration.

Vice President-elect JD Vance congratulated Miller, calling him “a fantastic pick” on social media.

Miller, known for his hardline stance on immigration, has been a central figure in Trump’s policy decisions, including the 2018 family separation policy.

He was also a prominent voice in crafting Trump’s speeches during the first administration.

This is another fantastic pick by the president. Congrats @StephenM! https://t.co/2kQCmbcRy3

Since leaving the White House, Miller has led America First Legal, a group aimed at countering the Biden administration’s policies.

Miller’s role will likely shape the administration’s direction on immigration and conservative values.
