Stephen Miller named Trump's new White House chief of staff

President Donald Trump has appointed longtime adviser Stephen Miller as White House chief of staff, a move announced Friday that signals a continuation of hardline immigration policies following the Republican Party's midterm losses. Democrats, set to control Congress in January, are expected to investigate Miller's role. Miller, 41, has been a close Trump confidant since 2016 and is widely seen as an architect of the president's mass deportation campaign. He will replace Susie Wiles on Monday, with Trump calling him "one of my most trusted advisors" in a Truth Social post. Miller's career includes shaping Trump's first-term policies like the 2018 "Zero Tolerance" border policy, which caused family separations, and the 2017 travel ban on Muslim-majority countries. He has also supported Trump's unfounded 2020 election fraud claims and endorsed military actions abroad.
