Stephen Miller, one of the main people responsible for the strict immigration policy under former President Donald Trump, will reportedly take on a central role in the new administration. According to information from CNN and the New York Times, Miller is set to become deputy chief of staff, which could give him considerable influence in the White House.
Reactions to the personnel decision
J.D. Vance, the Vice President-elect, spoke positively about Miller's appointment, describing it as a "fantastic choice". Miller, who served as an advisor during Trump's first term, is associated with drawing up detailed plans for the mass deportations announced by Trump.
Miller and his immigration policy
At a Trump campaign event, Miller emphasized that "America is for Americans - and only Americans." He promised that Trump would remove criminal migrants, cartels and gangs from the country.
Possible further positions for Miller
In recent days, Miller has also been floated as a potential nominee for Secretary of Homeland Security, a position that would require Senate confirmation. In contrast, no such confirmation is required for the role on the president's staff.
Trump's upcoming inauguration
Following his election victory last week, Republican Trump is expected to be sworn in for a second term as president on January 20.
