Who Is Stephen Miller?
Miller, who is considered a key architect of the administration's hardline immigration policies, is one of Trump's closest and longest-serving advisers. He joined his long-shot 2016 presidential campaign as a speechwriter. He currently serves as White House deputy chief of staff for policy and oversees a broad portfolio, though he is best known for his role in Trump's immigration policy.
He has been a major part of the Trump administration's anti-fraud task force targeting benefit programs and a decision to suspend Microsoft and others from a green card program. He also served as homeland security adviser at the White House, giving him a perch from which to coordinate with other agencies across the government. Miller was a veteran Senate aide who worked for former Sen Jeff Sessions, R-Ala, before he joined Trump's nascent presidential campaign in 2016. Sessions was the first senator to endorse Trump in his first run and later served as his attorney general.
