US President Donald Trump announced on Friday that Stephen Miller, currently Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and homeland security advisor, will become White House chief of staff on Monday, November 9, 2026, replacing Susie Wiles, who will move to the Trump Political Operation. Miller, 41, has been a close aide for more than a decade and is the architect of the administration’s mass deportation programme. Democratic leaders including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries condemned the appointment, calling Miller a “hatemonger” and “dangerous xenophobe.” Some Republicans also criticised the move. The White House praised Miller’s record on border security, deregulation and crime crackdown. [1] [2]
