Stephen Miller has been named White House chief of staff under President Trump. The appointment places one of the administration’s most influential immigration advisers at the center of West Wing operations.
Miller built his reputation as the architect of Trump’s mass deportation campaign. He has served as the public face of many of the president’s immigration policies.
His new role expands his authority beyond policy advice. As chief of staff, he will oversee daily White House operations and coordinate the president’s agenda.
The position is traditionally held by a senior aide who manages staff and controls access to the president. Miller’s selection signals a continued focus on immigration enforcement.
Miller previously served as a senior adviser during Trump’s first term. He helped shape restrictive immigration measures that drew national attention and legal challenges.
The chief of staff role often involves balancing competing demands from agencies and Congress. Miller will face pressure to translate campaign promises into workable policy.
Observers will watch how his immigration priorities shape staffing and decision-making. The appointment is expected to draw scrutiny from both supporters and critics.
