'''Stephen Miller''' {{lived|1985}} is a far-right [[Xenophobia|nativist]] political activist, and an all-American, '''only-'''American (no furriners allowed!) white supremacist and fascist jackasshole<ref>[https://www.thenation.com/article/stephen-miller-mainstream-republican/ "Stephen Miller is a Perfectly Mainstream Republican"] by Jett Heer, ''The Nation'', 2019-08-19</ref> who served as a senior adviser and director of speech writing to [[Donald Trump]] during his first presidency and serves as Homeland Security Advisor and White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy during the second Trump presidency. He became known as the architect behind what he and the Trump administration originally called the "Muslim Ban." In 2025, he was one of two main authors of the "Trans Ban".<ref>https://www.megynkelly.com/2025/01/21/megyn-kelly-reacts-to-trump-executive-order-defining-sex-as-male-and-female/</ref> 

During Trump's second term, Miller was the architect of Trump's above-the-law draconian anti-immigrant policies, whose goal was mass deportations of all 
icky brown and black people
 "illegal immigrants" in the country. To achieve these goals, Miller dramatically transformed the immigration enforcement agency [[ICE]], with the goal of the agency arresting a million people a year.<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/29/trump-ice-arrest-quota "Trump administration sets quota to arrest 3,000 people a day in anti-immigration agenda"] by Jose Olivares, Guardian, 2025 May 29</ref> How did he expect to accomplish this?

Miller's hatred of anyone non-white burns so bright, he set up [[concentration camps]] (such as "[[Ron DeSantis#Alligator Alcatraz|Alligator Alcatraz"]]) to house those detained, and frequently attempted to flout legal safeguards (such as [[habeas corpus]] and [[due process]]) that stood in his way.<ref name="nycchannelingtrump">[https://archive.ph/SmBos "Stephen Miller, Channeling Trump, Has Built More Power Than Ever"] by Jonathan Swan, Maggie Haberman, David A.

Miller was raised [[Jewish]], who historically suffered greatly during [[Nazism]], a notoriously [[antisemitic]] regime with [[Gestapo|a secret police force]], concentration camps, and [[Holocaust|ethnic cleansing goals]]. The blatant [[hypocrisy]] of Miller's parallels to [[fascism]] have been fervently denounced by many... including much of his own family, as some of his ancestors immigrated into the United States in the early 1900s as refugees fleeing the antisemitic climate of the Russian empire.<ref name="polimhypocrite"/><ref>[https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/401714-stephen-millers-uncle-dozens-of-family-members-told-me-to-speak/ "Stephen Miller’s uncle: ‘Dozens’ of family members told me to speak out against him"] by Aris Folley, Hill, 2018 August 14</ref> In July 2025, one of his family members even literally called Miller "the face of evil".<ref>[https://newrepublic.com/post/201387/stephen-miller-cousin-face-of-evil "Stephen Miller’s Own Cousin Calls Him the “Face of Evil”"] by Robert McCoy, The New Republic, 2025 October 6</ref><ref>[https://archive.ph/nLa6G "A preface: I have debated about sharing this.

==Early career and rise to Donald Trump adviser==

I Know Because I’m His Uncle."] by David S. Glosser, Politico, 2018 August 13</ref>}}

Miller first found fame (in what ended up being a [[stopped clock]] moment) defending members of the Duke Lacrosse team from a {{wpl|Duke lacrosse case|false rape charge|,}} since he was one of the few people not directly connected to the team doing so at the height of the media frenzy rushing to judgment against them.<ref>[https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/last-man-standing-stephen-miller-white-house/ "Last Man Standing: The Immigration Insurgent Who Survived the Trump White House",] Frontline, PBS, 2019-10-22</ref> Unfortunately, similar to [[Richard Spencer]],<ref>[http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2017/04/the-duke-lacrosse-scandal-and-the-birth-of-the-alt-right.html "The Duke Lacrosse Scandal and the Birth of the Alt-Right"], Reeves Wiedeman, New York Intelligencer, 2017-04-14</ref> this merely groomed him for a future career as a [[Wingnut welfare|nativist wingnut]]. Propelled from the exposure from this case, Stephen Miller hooked up with then-Senator [[Jeff Sessions]] (as communications chief) and aligned with the [[Breitbart]] media machine, gaining considerable editorial influence with the site's editors.<ref name="Politico">[https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/06/stephen-miller-donald-trump-2016-policy-adviser-jeff-sessions-213992 The Believer - How Stephen Miller went from obscure Capitol Hill staffer to Donald Trump’s warm-up act—and resident ideologue.] ''Politico Magazine'' 27 June 2016</ref> These qualifications were "good enough" for President Trump to promote him to the senior adviser position in his administration… where unswerving loyalty and a shared hardline viewpoint on

==Career under Donald Trump==
As senior adviser to the president, Stephen Miller played a key role in shaping Trump's immigration policy. His influence shaped attempts to impose a travel ban on certain Muslim countries<ref>[https://www.politico.com/story/2018/08/29/stephen-miller-immigration-policy-white-house-trump-799199 "Inside Stephen Miller’s hostile takeover of immigration policy",] Nahal Toosi, Politico, 2018-08-29</ref> as well as an attempted cancellation of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), a program that allows some undocumented children to received a work permit and defer deportation.<ref>[https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/how-stephen-miller-single-handedly-got-the-us-to-accept-fewer-refugees "How Stephen Miller Single-Handedly Got the U.S. to Accept Fewer Refugees",] Jonathan Blitzer, New Yorker, 2017-10-13</ref> Miller unsuccessfully tried to push the Trump administration for a complete ban on student visas for Chinese nationals,<ref>[https://www.ft.com/content/fc413158-c5f1-11e8-82bf-ab93d0a9b321 "US considered ban on student visas for Chinese nationals",] Demetri Sevastopulo and Tom Mitchell, Financial Times, 2018-10-02</ref> and Miller was one of the key driving forces behind Trump's policy that led thousands of children to be separated from their parents at the Mexican border.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/18/us/politics/immigration-children-sessions-miller.html "How Anti-Immigration Passion Was Inflamed From the Fringe",] Michael D. Shear and Katie Benner, 2018-06-18</ref> Overall, Miller is considered one of the key figures of Trump's hard-line immigration policies.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/04/us/politics/trump-stephen-miller-immigration.html "A Familiar Force Nurtures Trump’s Instincts on Immigration: Stephen Miller"], Maggie Haberman, New York Times, 2018-11-04</ref>

Miller tried to justify the travel ban by using an analysis from the Center for Immigration Studies,<ref>[https://www.factcheck.org/2017/02/terrorism-and-trumps-travel-ban/ "Terrorism and Trump's Travel Ban",] Eugene Kiely, Factcheck.org, 2017-02-24</ref> a group designated as an extremist immigrant hate group by the [[Southern Poverty Law Center]] (SPLC).<ref>[https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/center-immigration-studies "Center for Immigration Studies",] Southern Poverty Law Center, extremist files page</ref>

In an attempt to come up with additional justification for all of this "immigration policy", Miller commissioned a study asking the Department of Health and Human Services to study the costs of refugee resettlement. When HHS came back with the answer (namely, refugee resettlement actually '''generated''' revenue, and the revenue generated by refugees in the form of local, state, and federal taxes exceeded the costs of resettling them by sixty-three billion dollars), naturally Miller ignored the advice in favor of being a loyal lapdog to Trump.

{{Cquote|The President believes refugees cost more, and the results of this study shouldn’t embarrass the President.|||Stephen Miller, because in the Trump administration, [https://www.huffpost.com/entry/eric-trump-facts-dont-matter-donald-trump_n_5dc273a2e4b0f5dcf8fd47c3 facts don't matter.]<ref>[https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/how-stephen-miller-single-handedly-got-the-us-to-accept-fewer-refugees "How Stephen Miller Single-Handedly Got the U.S. to Accept Fewer Refugees",] Jonathan Blitzer, New Yorker, 2017-10-13</ref>}}

==ICE: America's secret police==
Under Miller's leadership, ICE became "an anti-immigration machine." In just 2025 alone, ICE "revoked thousands of visas," including student visas, established "full or partial bans" on immigrants from 19 countries, announced it would take only 7,500 refugees next year and "give priority to white South Africans," and deported tens of thousands of people sometimes to third countries in harsh conditions. ICE was stacked with Miller allies and acolytes, which transformed ICE into Miller's "personal fiefdom." They have what is called the "Stephen Miller call," where Miller - who is not involved at the State Department - speaks with specific people from the State Department every morning and reportedly drills them, often with an obsessive attention to detail, on who they will deport, whose visa they will revoke, which detention center they'll be put, and pressure other countries to accept deportees no matter what the law says. Christopher Landau, one such anti-immigrant ally of Miller, is using his authority as Deputy Secretary of State to revoke visas, refuse refugees, and use the State Department - not for diplomacy, but for deportation and visa revocation, including for critics of [[Israel]] and [[Charlie Kirk]]. <ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/oct/31/stephen-miller-immigration-trump "How Stephen Miller is turning the US state department into an anti-immigration machine," Andrew Roth, The Guardian]</ref> 

At Miller's order, top ICE leadership was replaced in 2025 with Border Patrol operatives who faced credible allegations of [[crimes against humanity]] towards brown and black people. ICE raids were conducted on minority communities, arresting parents in carpool lines, dragging people into unmarked vans, threatening protestors, and arresting elected officials. If you were someone with an accent, and brown, you could get arrested while shopping at a mall. They’ve "launched tear gas in residential neighborhoods in Chicago and Portland, rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter into an apartment building to arrest families at night, violently attacked U.S. citizens, and used predator drones to surveil protests, predator drones to surveil protests." Gregory Bovino, the El Centro Sector Border Patrol chief, is one of the men Miller promoted. Bovino oversaw Border Patrol operations ''away from the border''. Where were they? In ''Los Angeles, California'' in June 2025.{{efn|Two-thirds of the US population resides within the 100-mile US border zone as defined by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, including Los Angeles, Chicago and most major cities.<ref>[https://www.southernborder.org/100_mile_border_enforcement_zone What Is The 100-Mile Border Enforcement Zone?] ''Southern Border Communities Coalition''.</ref>}} Miller put Bovino in charge of the administration’s ICE operation in Chicago. Bovino himself threw a tear gas cannister in a residential neighborhood, captured on video. Agents under his command have used "increasingly aggressive tactics," like "punching a restrained man, and pulling dozens of U.S. citizens and children from their beds in a nighttime apartment raid." Even local police forces were found participating in ICE operations.<ref>[https://www.aclu.org/news/immigrants-rights/border-patrol-agents-replace-top-leadership-at-ice-offices-despite-human-rights-violations Border Patrol Agents Replace Top Leadership at ICE Offices Despite Human Rights Violations] by Sarah Mehta (November 6, 2025) ''ACLU''.</ref><ref>[https://www.aclu.org/news/immigrants-rights/how-expanded-287g-program-turns-local-police-into-deportation-agents How Expanded 287(g) Program Turns Local Police Into Deportation Agents] by Naureen Shah (September 10, 2025) ''ACLU''.</ref>

ICE heavily increased the frequency and combative aggressiveness of its raids. Such raids not only detained illegal immigrants with no other criminal record, but also frequently detained US citizens; even children were subject to being bound by zip ties.<ref>[https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trumps-ice-arrests-non-criminals-despite-crime-focused-message-2025-06-13/ "Trump’s ICE arrests non-criminals despite crime-focused message"] by Ted Hesson, Reuters, 2025 June 13</ref><ref>[https://apnews.com/article/chicago-immigration-federal-arrests-helicopter-trump-ice-8dbf688f78f3b6d1b8fdb989557b28c4 "Using helicopters and chemical agents, immigration agents become increasingly aggressive in Chicago"] by Sophia Tareen, Associated Press, 2025 October 6th</ref> Masks were worn by ICE to conceal identity.<ref>[https://walterolson.substack.com/p/will-we-allow-ice-to-behave-as-a "Will we allow ICE to behave as a secret police?"] by Walter Olson, Substack, 2025 May 11</ref> Even some [[Democrats|opposition politicians]] and judges were detained by ICE, often on flimsy pretext.<ref>[https://abcnews.go.com/US/video-shows-judge-hannah-dugans-interaction-ice-agents/story?id=122295812 "Video shows Milwaukee judge's interaction with ICE agents prior to her arrest for alleged attempt to aid undocumented man"] by James Hill, ABC News, 2025 June 2</ref><ref>[https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/new-york-democratic-politicians-arrested-ice-jail-manhattan-2025-09-19/ "New York Democratic politicians arrested at ICE jail in Manhattan"] by David Dee Delgado and Steve Gorman, Reuters, 2025 September 18</ref>

==Racist email leaks==
While well known for his caustic nativism, the true depth of Miller's racism was clarified when the SPLC, together with Hatewatch, reviewed more than 900 private emails sent to Breitbart between March 4, 2015 to June 27, 2016.<ref>[https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2019/11/12/stephen-millers-affinity-white-nationalism-revealed-leaked-emails "Stephen Miller's Affinity for White Nationalism Revealed in Leaked Emails",] Michael Edison Hayden, 2019-11-12</ref> The conversations consisted of emails between Mr. Miller and former Breitbart editor Katie McHugh (who has since left the alt-right movement and regretted her participation in it<ref>[https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/rosiegray/katie-mchugh "Get Out While You Still Can"], Rosie Gray, Buzzfeed News, 2019-05-01</ref>).

Within the emails:
*Miller, upon hearing about {{wpl|Hurricane Patricia||,}} used all of the empathy he had (read: none) in evaluating the situation, by speculating that: A) This would possibly drive a mass migration to the United States, and B) 100% of migrants would be granted temporary protected status (TPS), concluding: C) OMG PANIC!!!!!!!!!. To justify this position, Miller sent an article written by known [[pseudoscientific]] [[Asshole|dickhead]] [[Steve Sailer]], on the [[white nationalist]] website [[VDARE]] (a website well known to traffic in nonsense as [[The Great Replacement]] myth), with much hand-wringing over the TPS policy for no reason other than it involves foreign countries and immigrants.<ref>[http://archive.li/dG96h Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste: Mexico's Hurricane Patricia And "Temporary Protected Status"] by Steve Sailer (10/23/2015) ''VDARE'' (archived from 6 Sep 2019 17:39:57 UTC).</ref> (Later emails show that Miller also subscribes to The Great Replacement theory.)
* As part of a general email chain where Miller espouses racist nonsense about immigrant "invasions" (with the usual puffed up [[bullshit]] about [[Myths and facts about immigration to the United States|"violent crime" and "dropping SAT scores"]]), Miller recommended that Breitbart editor Julia Hahn read the book {{wpl|The Camp of the Saints|''The Camp of the Saints''|,}} a [[dystopian]] novel known for racist, [[xenophobic]], and anti-immigrant themes, and widely compared to the [[neo-Nazi]] novel ''[[The Turner Diaries]]''.
* In another recollection, McHugh recalls how Miller recommended an article from notorious white nationalist site [[American Renaissance]] to discuss interracial crime. (Miller previously appeared on American Renaissance in his Duke University days, as an author of a ''Frontpage Magazine'' article<ref>[http://archive.li/czUfA#selection-577.19-577.40 Santa Monica High’s Multicultural Fistfights] by Stephen H. Miller (July 19, 2005) ''Frontpage Magazine'' via ''American Renaissance'' (archived from 18 Sep 2019 05:40:50 UTC).</ref> that naturally transformed a story concerning a well-meaning, but poor, judgement call from a high school principal<ref>[http://www.malibutimes.com/news/article_f0ebcf1d-0a33-55df-a481-7114472b1fcf.html SMMUSD board member brings alleged gang members onto Samohi campus] by Hans Laetz (Apr 27, 2005) ''The Malibu Times''.</ref> into some caricature-oriented screed regarding "The Left" and "political indoctrination". Within this screed was a bizarre rant, suggesting that acknowledging racism exists somehow can cause gang violence. Naturally, this article found favor with American Renaissance and was reprinted there.) 
* Mr. Miller, in a series of emails concerning attempts to remove [[Confederate]] monuments, suggested that Breitbart focus on… [[Whataboutism|how they should advocate removing Spanish flags and crosses due to (admittedly regrettable) Spanish conduct in colonial Latin America?]]
* In another email, Miller urged that Breitbart's coverage of the {{wpl|Umpqua Community College shooting|Umpqua Community College school shooting|,}} perpetrated by Chris Harper-Mercer, a noted mentally troubled [[Incel|incel]],<ref>[https://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-school-shootings-2017-story.html ‘Here I am, 26, with no friends, no job, no girlfriend’: Shooter’s manifesto offers clues to 2015 Oregon college rampage], Rick Anderson, LA Times, 2017-09-23])</ref> should focus on his claimed "mixed race" heritage because [[Racism|of course they should]].
* Other nutjobs that Miller attempted to source for Breitbart stories include [[Pamela Geller]] and [[Infowars]].
* As a side note, other emails showed that Miller has a fascination with [[Calvin Coolidge]]… {{wpl|Immigration Act of 1924|for his support for anti-immigration policies, of course|.}}
