In a significant appointment within his administration, US President-elect Donald Trump has selected Stephen Miller , his long-standing immigration adviser, to serve as White House deputy chief of staff for policy. The news comes from a CNN reporter’s post on X, citing two sources with knowledge of the decision.
Miller, who previously served as a senior adviser in the Trump administration, played a central role in shaping the immigration policies from 2017 to 2021. During Trump’s first term, Miller was instrumental in implementing measures like the US-Mexico border wall, travel bans on certain Muslim-majority countries, and a contentious 2018 policy that separated thousands of migrant families at the border.
Vice President-elect JD Vance appeared to confirm the anticipated appointment, praising the decision on X: "This is another fantastic pick by the president. Congrats @StephenM!" Reuters has yet to independently verify the report.
Trump, re-elected with a renewed promise to target record numbers of undocumented immigrants, is also set to reappoint former acting US Immigration and Customs Enforcement director Tom Homan as "border czar." The new administration's immigration plans have sparked controversy, with critics calling the proposed deportations inhumane, costly, and ultimately ineffective. Trump's recent selections emphasize his administration’s commitment to a stringent immigration policy as he prepares to take office on January 20.
This comes after Trump named Tom Homan as his "Border Czar," marking his first executive appointment. Trump announced Homan's role in enforcing his campaign promise to deport illegal migrants and strengthen border security.
Homan, 62, previously served as the Acting Director of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency during Trump’s first term, advocating for a “zero tolerance” approach to illegal migration. Starting as a border agent, Homan rose through the ranks and became known for his strong stance on immigration enforcement. Although he left ICE before Senate confirmation, his appointment underscores Trump’s commitment to strict immigration policies.
This announcement follows Trump’s recent appointment of Susan Wiles as Chief of Staff. Trump has consistently vowed that mass deportations would be a priority from "Day 1" of his administration, with thousands of positions still needing to be filled to implement his agenda.
