Day 1 for Stephen Miller as Trump's chief of staff, sources say immigration crackdown won't ease

Stephen Miller began his tenure as President Donald Trump’s chief of staff on Monday, taking over from Susie Wiles amid expectations that the administration’s hardline immigration agenda will continue unabated. Miller, known as the architect of Trump’s mass‑deportation policies, faces skepticism from lawmakers and critics, including journalist Jean Guerrero, who labeled him a “hatemonger.” Trump has acknowledged past immigration tactics may have contributed to midterm losses, yet his choice signals a doubling down on those stances.
