Trump expected to appoint Stephen Miller as deputy chief of staff for policy

Miller, a hardline immigration adviser, would replace the more moderate Joel Kaplan

President Donald Trump is expected to appoint Stephen Miller, a hardline immigration adviser, as deputy chief of staff for policy, according to two people familiar with the matter. Miller would replace Joel Kaplan, a more moderate figure who is leaving the White House.

Miller's appointment would be a significant shift in the White House's policy team.

Miller is one of the architects of Trump's hardline immigration policies, including the travel ban on citizens from several Muslim-majority countries and the separation of families at the border. He is also a close ally of Steve Bannon, the former White House chief strategist who is known for his nationalist views.

Kaplan, on the other hand, is seen as a more moderate voice within the White House.

He has been involved in negotiations with Congress on immigration reform and has opposed some of Miller's more hardline proposals. His departure is seen as a sign that Trump is moving further to the right on immigration and other issues.

Miller's appointment would be a major victory for Bannon and his allies within the White House.

It would also signal that Trump is doubling down on his hardline immigration policies, which have been criticized by Democrats and Republicans alike.

Miller's appointment is expected to be announced in the coming days.

It is unclear what role he will play in the White House, but he is likely to have a significant influence on policy.
