Donald Trump has quietly sidelined long-time immigration architect Stephen Miller after a series of high-profile missteps, including branding a protester shot dead by federal agents a 'domestic terrorist,' according to current and former White House officials cited by The Atlantic.
For context, Miller has been the driving force behind Donald Trump's immigration agenda for roughly a decade, from the family separation policy in the former president's first term to this year's push for 3,000 daily arrests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. His influence has long reached deep into the machinery of the Department of Homeland Security, where he was viewed by both admirers and critics as the ideological engine of Trump-era enforcement.
