Stephen Miller, one of President-elect Donald Trump's top aides, will become deputy chief of staff at the White House. Miller, known for his anti-immigrant views, proclaimed during his campaign an “America for Americans only.” Future Vice President DJ Vance congratulated President Trump on his “great choice.”
According to CNN, Stephen Miller will report to Trump campaign manager Susie Wiles, who has been announced as the future White House chief of staff. This is one of the most important functions in the administration, and the person who holds it is the president's “right-hand man,” managing the work of the White House and controlling access to heads of state.
According to the New York Times, Miller's role is much broader than his official title suggests.
During Trump's first presidency, Miller served as a senior political adviser and speechwriter, and was one of the key figures in the president's inner circle, Reuters recalled.
He was also considered one of the architects of immigration policies, including a travel ban on people from Muslim countries and the separation of immigrant families at the border.
Stephen Miller is President Trump's deputy chief of staff. He spoke of “America for Americans.”
Mr. Miller is known for his harsh right-wing and anti-immigrant views. At President Trump's biggest campaign rally of the year, held at New York's Madison Square Garden, the 39-year-old politician said that during Trump's second term in office, “America is for Americans and only for Americans.” “It will be,” he promised.
Future Vice President J.D. Vance congratulated President Trump on his “great choice” on the X Platform.

Earlier, President Trump announced that he would hire former Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Tom Homan as “border czar.”
Homan said in an interview with Fox News on Monday that the new administration's border security policies will be the same as those of President Trump's first term, but the number of deportations will likely be higher.
In addition to Mr. Wiles, Mr. Miller and Mr. Homan, President Trump announced his nomination of Congresswoman Elise Stefanik to the post of U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
