The great architect of migration policies
Stephen Miller, 39, served in high-profile roles during Donald Trump's previous term, including as senior advisor and director of speechwriting.

In a post on X, he said: “This is another great choice from the president. » A Trump spokesperson did not respond to requests for comment on Stephen Miller's nomination, but Miller's arrival sends a clear message.
