Jeffries demands Trump fire Miller after calling him a 'dangerous xenophobe'

thehill.com —

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries called Stephen Miller a "dangerous xenophobe" after President Trump promoted him to White House Chief of Staff, demanding he be fired immediately. Jeffries posted on X that Miller has "American blood on his hands" and should be removed from government. Miller, a key architect of Trump's immigration policies, previously advocated tripling daily arrests and referred to two Americans killed by federal agents as domestic terrorists. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Trump "learned nothing" from the midterms, while Rep. Robert Garcia vowed continued oversight investigations. Miller replaces Susie Wiles, whose departure Trump had earlier denied, with some Republicans like Steve Bannon having pushed for her removal.
