Trump Fires Chief of Staff, Elevates Immigration Hardliner Stephen Miller

US President Trump has fired Chief of Staff Susie Wiles after his party lost its congressional majorities, elevating hardliner Stephen Miller to the role. The move signals a continued aggressive policy approach. Miller, previously deputy chief of staff, is seen as the architect of Trump's strict immigration policies and domestic National Guard deployments. Democratic Minority Leader Jeffries called him a "dangerous xenophobe and reckless extremist," citing incidents like the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti during a federal raid. The reshuffle follows Republican losses in the midterms and a series of departures by female officials. Analysts say Miller's appointment indicates Trump will maintain a confrontational stance against Democrats despite their new congressional majorities.
