Stephen Miller pushes divisive immigration agenda despite midterm losses

al.com —

President Donald Trump's new chief of staff, Stephen Miller, is advancing hard-line immigration policies despite voters rejecting them in the midterm elections, according to a political cartoon and news report. Miller, a longtime Trump aide, convened calls with national security officials days after the election to push deportations and border restrictions, showing no intention of scaling back the divisive agenda. Republicans had urged Trump to moderate these policies after steep losses. The cartoon credits Alabama's Jeff Sessions for bringing Miller into the administration in 2016, and criticizes Miller's approach as toxic and out of step with voter sentiment.
