Trump taps Stephen Miller as deputy chief of staff for policy

Miller, a key architect of the administration's immigration policies, will replace Joel Kaplan in the role.

Miller, a senior adviser to Trump since the beginning of his presidency, has been a driving force behind the administration's hardline immigration policies, including the travel ban on citizens from several Muslim-majority countries and the separation of migrant children from their parents at the border.

The move comes as the Trump administration is facing increasing scrutiny over its immigration policies. A federal judge recently blocked the administration's attempt to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which protects young undocumented immigrants from deportation. The administration is also facing lawsuits over its family separation policy.

Miller's appointment is likely to be met with resistance from Democrats and immigration advocates. Miller has been a vocal critic of immigration, and he has been accused of white nationalism. In a 2015 speech, Miller said that "the American people are being replaced" by immigrants.

Despite the criticism, Miller is a close confidant of Trump. He is known for his loyalty to the president, and he is often seen as one of the most influential people in the White House. Miller's appointment as deputy chief of staff for policy is a sign that Trump is doubling down on his hardline immigration policies.
