**Trump Expected to Name Stephen Miller as Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy**

President-elect Donald Trump is anticipated to appoint Stephen Miller as the White House deputy chief of staff for policy. This appointment will bring Miller back to the White House, where he is set to play a crucial role in crafting and executing Trump's immigration policies, which include plans for large-scale deportations of undocumented immigrants.

Vice President-elect JD Vance has lauded this decision, describing it as "another fantastic pick by the president" in a post on x.com. Vance's statement appears to confirm CNN's report on Miller's rumored appointment. Miller, one of Trump's most enduring and reliable advisers, worked closely with him during the 2016 presidential campaign before serving as a senior adviser in the White House.

Miller is best known for being a primary architect of some of the Trump administration's most stringent immigration policies, including the divisive zero tolerance policy that resulted in the separation of children from their parents. Given his track record, Miller is positioned to be one of the most polarizing figures in the new administration. However, because the deputy chief of staff is not a cabinet position, Miller will not require Senate confirmation.

Throughout Trump's 2024 campaign, Miller resumed his role as a campaign rally speaker, energizing supporters with his emphatic rhetoric. At a rally in Salem, Virginia, he rallyingly declared, "You can have your country back, you can have your future back, you can have your state back. You can look your children in the eye and say, 'We did it, we saved America, we saved this republic. We didn't let it get stolen from us.'"

Miller's return to the White House signals a strong continuation of the hardline immigration stance that characterized Trump's first term, setting the stage for contentious political battles ahead.
