Stephen Miller named Trump's new chief of staff
Stephen Miller, a prominent far-right ideologue and architect of President Trump's hardline immigration policies, has been appointed as the new White House chief of staff. He will assume the role on November 9, succeeding Susie Wiles. Known for his aggressive rhetoric, Miller was a key strategist in Trump's 2024 campaign, linking immigration to crime. He has advocated for executive orders, mass deportations, and the use of historical laws to justify policies, including a controversial proposal to suspend habeas corpus for migrants. Miller, who authored Trump's "American carnage" inaugural speech, has remained a loyal advisor since the first term. His promotion follows pressure from figures like Steve Bannon for Wiles' removal, as Miller's ideas have become central to the administration's dominant political agenda.
