America First Advocate and Immigration Hardliner Stephen Miller to Make Major White House Return
The America First advocate and immigration hardliner Stephen Miller is reportedly set to make a return in Donald Trump’s White House.
Miller, who previously served in the last Trump administration, will reportedly take up the role of White House deputy chief of staff for policy.
CNN reports:
President-elect Donald Trump is expected to announce in the coming days that Stephen Miller, his top immigration adviser, will serve as White House deputy chief of staff for policy, two sources familiar with the plans told CNN.Miller, who served as a senior adviser to Trump during his first administration and has been a leading advocate for more restrictive immigration policy, is expected to take on an expanded role in the president-elect’s second term.
Miller is also a lead architect of Trump’s plans for mass deportation of undocumented immigrants. He has said that a second Trump administration would seek a tenfold increase in the number of deportations to more than one million per year.
“President-elect Trump will begin making decisions on who will serve in his second administration soon. Those decisions will be announced when they are made,” Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told CNN.
Given Miller’s hardline stance on immigration, his appointment would provide further evidence that Trump intends to make good on his promise to deport as many illegal aliens as possible.
During his time outside the White House, Miller has worked as the president of America First Legal, a conservative legal group that has scored numerous victories against the Biden administration and other left-wing entities.
Miller’s appointment may also be bad news for Joe Biden, who he has previously suggested should be prosecuted for war crimes and human trafficking.
“If they say there’s no immunity for official acts, the moment Joe Biden leaves office, every single red city and red state DA in the country can charge him for financial crimes related to illegal student loan bailouts, can charge him for war crimes related to deaths of service members overseas, can charge him for human trafficking, human smuggling and by the way, more election interference than you can even count,” Miller said in an interview back in April.
Over the weekend, Donald Trump also announced that he would be appointing former ICE Director Tom Homan as his “Border Czar.” His role will involve overseeing the mass deportations as well as securing the border against further illegal invasion.
“I’ve known Tom for a long time, and there is nobody better at policing and controlling our Borders,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Likewise, Tom Homan will be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin.”
