Trump replaces chief of staff with hardline loyalist Stephen Miller
President Donald Trump has replaced his chief of staff, Susie Wiles, with Stephen Miller, a hardline loyalist known for architecting the administration's aggressive anti-immigration policies. Wiles, the first woman to hold the role and a key figure in Trump's 2024 campaign victory, was praised by the president for her work. Miller's appointment comes despite data showing Hispanic voters shifted away from Republicans in the November 3 elections, particularly in Texas, where Democrats won all border districts and the governorship. Miller, who has called immigrants "killers," faces sharp criticism from Democrats, including Hakeem Jeffries, who called him a "dangerous xenophobe." California Democrat Robert Garcia plans to investigate Miller's role in ICE policies following the deaths of two American citizens in Minneapolis.
