Trump expects to nominate Stephen Miller as deputy chief of staff for policy

President-elect Trump is expected to name Stephen Miller as deputy chief of staff for policy in his administration.

Vice President-elect JD Vance sent a congratulatory message to Miller on Monday morning.

“This is another fantastic presidential election,” Vance wrote following a CNN report on Trump’s election.

Miller was a senior adviser in Trump’s first term. He helped craft many of Trump’s hardline speeches and plans on immigration.

Since Trump left office, Miller has been president of America First Legal, an organization of former Trump advisers founded as a conservative version of the American Civil Liberties Union that challenges the Biden administration, media companies, universities and others on issues such as freedom of Language and religion and national security.

Miller advocated for mass deportations during a second Trump term. He spoke at Trump’s huge rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

“I want you to think for a minute about the decades of abuse inflicted on the good people of this nation, their jobs looted and stolen from them and shipped to Mexico, Asia and abroad, the lives of their loved ones destroyed by illegal immigrants, criminal gangs and thugs who don’t belong in this country,” Miller said to the packed Manhattan venue. “A political system that punishes working citizens, oppresses them at every turn, deprives them of the right to freedom of expression, the right to political expression and the right to basic security in their own country.” One man dared to come forward nine years ago and to say enough, no more. America is getting its future back.

Miller spoke about the charges and lawsuits Trump has faced, adding that the former president “took a bullet for democracy” – a reference to the Trump assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.

He also spoke of high-profile cases of illegal immigrants accused of raping and murdering women and girls.

“He fought for your children, for your wives, your husbands, for everyone you love and who you know has the right to live in a country where criminal gangs do not simply cross our border and rape with impunity and can murder,” said Miller Trumpf. “Think about how corrupt, hateful and evil a system is that allows gangs to invade this country and rape and murder little girls.”

“Who will stand up for our daughters? Who will stand up for the girls of America, the women of America, the families of America? Who will stand up and say: The cartels are gone, the criminal migrants are gone.” “The gangs are gone. America is for Americans and Americans only,” Miller added.
