Stephen Miller Named White House Chief of Staff by Trump

usnews.com —

President Donald Trump has appointed Stephen Miller as White House chief of staff, elevating a key architect of the administration's hardline immigration policies into a powerful new role during a lame-duck period following Republican losses in Congress. Miller, known for bombastic rhetoric, has called migrants "invaders," suggested suspending habeas corpus for deportations, and defended family separation policies. He has also made controversial statements about Venezuela, Greenland, and birthright citizenship, which he called "suicide." Democrats are expected to scrutinize Miller's record closely. His past comments include calling a man killed by ICE a "domestic terrorist," questioning vaccine safety, and labeling the Democratic Party a "domestic extremist organization."
