Vice President-elect JD Vance recently extended his congratulations to Stephen Miller following reports that former President Donald Trump plans to appoint him as the Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy in his upcoming administration. The announcement, which was made via Vance’s social media platform X on Monday morning, highlights Trump’s continued trust in Miller’s abilities.
Vance described Miller’s selection as another “fantastic pick” for the Trump team, emphasizing Miller’s significant role in shaping Trump’s policies during his first term. A long-time ally of Trump, Miller is well-known for his hardline stance on immigration. He was a senior adviser during Trump’s first term and helped draft several key speeches and policies, particularly focusing on immigration reform and national security.
After Trump’s presidency, Miller took on the role of president at America First Legal, a conservative legal group founded by former Trump advisers. The organization has been actively challenging the Biden administration on various issues, including freedom of speech, national security, and the role of universities.
Miller has been vocal about his stance on immigration reform, advocating for mass deportations should Trump win a second term. He also made waves at a Trump rally at Madison Square Garden, delivering a passionate speech about the struggles of American citizens due to illegal immigration.
“Think about the decades of abuse that have been heaped upon the good people of this nation,” Miller declared to the cheering crowd. He spoke strongly against illegal immigration, criminal gangs, and what he described as a corrupt system that undermines the safety and rights of American citizens.
Miller also voiced support for Trump’s fight against numerous lawsuits and indictments, labeling Trump as a champion of democracy who stood up for the American people despite personal attacks.
As the story continues to develop, it remains to be seen what impact Miller’s new role will have on the future direction of the Trump administration and its policies moving forward.
