Trump names immigration hardliner Stephen Miller as chief of staff

President Donald Trump announced Friday the appointment of Stephen Miller, a hardline immigration advisor, as his new White House chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles. The move signals a tougher administration stance following the Republican Party's defeat in the midterm elections. Miller, who previously served as deputy chief of staff and domestic policy advisor, is known for his ultra-nationalist views and was the architect of Trump's mass deportation strategy. Wiles, credited with running a disciplined White House, faced recent controversy over her daughter's lobbying work for a Bosnian Serb entity. The appointment comes three days after Democrats secured their largest congressional majority in decades. Miller, 40, has been one of Trump's most trusted advisors for over a decade, and his promotion may lead to a more contentious relationship with the incoming Democratic-controlled Congress.
