Stephen Miller Named Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff: A Bold Move on Immigration.

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Stephen Miller, a staunch immigration hardliner, as Deputy Chief of Staff, signaling his administration's serious focus on immigration reform. Though Trump has yet to make an official announcement, Vice President-elect JD Vance confirmed the news in a post, praising Miller’s appointment as a “fantastic pick.”

Miller, who served as Trump’s policy adviser and speechwriter during his first term, was a prominent voice on immigration issues throughout Trump’s campaign, traveling frequently with him to rallies. Known for his tough stance on immigration, Miller is expected to play a central role in advancing Trump’s strict immigration agenda, especially alongside Tom Homan, who was recently named "Border Czar."

This move indicates the critical priority Trump is placing on immigration reform. In past interviews, Miller has advocated for rigorous immigration measures, including detaining undocumented migrants in camps before deportation. He has also pushed for ending birthright citizenship, a proposal Trump has endorsed.

Miller’s position as Deputy Chief of Staff, which does not require Senate confirmation, allows him to bypass congressional scrutiny, granting him immediate influence over Trump’s immigration policy.

In another high-profile move, Trump announced Congresswoman Elise Stefanik as the U.S. permanent representative to the United Nations, underscoring the administration’s urgency in shaping its agenda from the outset. With Miller, Homan, and Stefanik joining key roles, the stage is set for a renewed, aggressive immigration policy under the Trump administration.
