Who is Stephen Miller, and why does his promotion matter now?

Stern reports Trump's first personnel move after the midterm defeat is replacing Susie Wiles with Stephen Miller. Miller joined Trump's 2016 campaign, then returned to the White House in 2024 as deputy chief of staff.

Wirtschafts Woche reports that 67 percent of Hispanic voters say the government went too far in enforcing immigration law, and calls Miller the architect of that deportation policy. Democrats vow to oppose him at every step.

In Washington, Trump calls Miller one of his most trusted advisers and says Wiles did an outstanding job. Wirtschafts Woche, citing The Atlantic and The New York Times, reports Trump increasingly clashed with Wiles, who moves to his political operation.
