THE BARE STORY
President Donald Trump has appointed senior adviser Stephen Miller as White House chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles, according to the administration’s announcement. Miller has been a leading adviser on the administration’s domestic and border-security agenda.
The appointment comes as immigration enforcement remains a major political issue after the 2026 midterm elections. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said deportations would continue. Trump has also indicated he would veto congressional efforts to limit immigration enforcement, according to the administration.
Democratic Representatives Robert Garcia and Bennie Thompson said they plan to pursue increased oversight of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. They proposed measures including body cameras for agents and restrictions on face coverings. Vice President JD Vance said he viewed inflation and the war in Iran, rather than immigration, as key factors in the election results, while expressing possible openness to placing greater enforcement focus on employers who hire undocumented workers.
