Trump expected to name Stephen Miller White House deputy chief of staff for policy

Miller, a key architect of the administration's immigration policies, would be elevated to a more senior role.

President Donald Trump is expected to name Stephen Miller, a key architect of the administration's immigration policies, as White House deputy chief of staff for policy, according to people familiar with the matter.

Miller, a senior adviser to Trump, has been a vocal advocate for the president's hard-line stance on immigration, including the travel ban on citizens from several Muslim-majority countries and the separation of families at the border.

Miller's promotion would give him a more prominent role in shaping the administration's agenda.

He would be responsible for coordinating policy development across the White House and ensuring that the president's priorities are being implemented.

Miller's elevation comes as the Trump administration is facing a number of challenges, including the ongoing trade war with China, the impeachment inquiry into the president's dealings with Ukraine, and the upcoming presidential election.

Miller is a controversial figure, and his promotion is likely to be met with criticism from Democrats and immigrant rights groups.

However, he is a close confidant of the president, and his promotion is a sign that Trump is not backing away from his hard-line immigration policies.
