Miller worked in the White House during Trump's first administration, serving as a senior adviser to him and as director of speechwriting. He played a key role in developing several of Trump's immigration policies, including the Muslim travel ban and the family separation policy.
Although the US president-elect has not yet officially announced the appointment, CNN reported the news yesterday, citing two sources familiar with the matter, and later in the day the vice-president-elect, JD Vance, appeared to confirm the report in a post on X, where he congratulated Miller, saying: "This is another fantastic pick by the president. Congrats @StephenM!"
It had been expected that Miller would take on an expanded role in Trump's second term if the former president won the 2024 election, and assist him in carrying out his mass deportation plan for millions of undocumented migrants in the US.
Trump has begun to give out senior positions in his new administration. Late on Sunday he announced that the former acting director of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) Tom Homan would be appointed "border tsar".
