Stephen Miller named Trump's new chief of staff
Stephen Miller, a 41-year-old hardline anti-immigration ideologue, has been named President Donald Trump's new chief of staff, replacing the reserved Susie Wiles. Miller is a vocal advocate for using immigration policy to "save Western civilization." A Duke University graduate and architect of Trump's executive order strategy, Miller has directed ICE to increase arrests and deportations, citing centuries-old laws. His actions have sparked clashes, including a Home Depot operation in Los Angeles and the deployment of thousands of troops. Known as "Trump's brain" by former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, Miller has pushed controversial measures like suspending habeas corpus for migrants. His position wavered only amid tensions between Trump and Elon Musk, involving his wife Katie Miller's role at DOGE.
