Stephen Miller starts as White House chief of staff

Stephen Miller, a controversial immigration hardliner, began his first day as White House chief of staff on Monday, bringing his long-documented extreme views on immigration and foreign policy to the top administrative role. Miller has repeatedly claimed the US is being "conquered" by immigration, advocating for "massive large-scale deportations by the millions" to prevent what he calls the "irrevocable" resettlement of America. He has also opposed birthright citizenship, called a killed nurse a "domestic terrorist," and supported US acquisition of Greenland. In other statements, Miller has questioned US military involvement in the Middle East and justified the January attack on Venezuela that captured President Nicolás Maduro, framing it as reclaiming stolen American assets.
