Stephen Miller, White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor, is perhaps the Left\u2019s second most-loathed person in the Trump Administration after the president himself.\n<\/p>\n

Who is praying on the wall?<\/h4>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mr. Miller is an original architect and leading voice in the America First MAGA movement. He is a trusted member of President Trump\u2019s inner circle and a top advisor.\n<\/p>\n

Conservative Views Forged in a Liberal Upbringing<\/h2>\n

Mr. Miller grew up in Santa Monica, California, as the middle child of a liberal Democrat family. He is 40 years old. Mr. Miller is of Ashkenazi Jewish descent, and his father\u2019s family immigrated to the U.S., fleeing the Jewish persecution of the Russian pogroms and the Holocaust. His mother\u2019s family was staunch FDR stalwarts and New Deal Democrats.\n<\/p>\n

My Miller attended a \u201cprogressive\u201d Hebrew School and a Reform Synagogue. He graduated from Santa Monica High School in 2003. Even back then, he was known as a fierce debater and an advocate for conservatism, taking on the liberal viewpoints of his Jewish community.\n<\/p>\n

In high school, he spoke out against the rising anti-Americanism taught in his high school. He lobbied for students to recite the Pledge of Allegiance daily and for English-only education in schools.\n<\/p>\n

He successfully fought to bring conservative author David Horowitz to his school. Afterwards, Mr. Horowitz became a mentor of Mr. Miller\u2019s, saying the then-teen had a \u201cgreat deal of chutzpah in standing up to hostile teachers and administrators.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

Mr. Miller\u2019s roots in conservatism most likely began in a youthful rebellion against his progressive liberal upbringing and its identity politics. Mr. Horowitz says of him, \u201cYou learn a certain style of politics when you\u2019re on the left, and if you take it over into the right, it comes out as hardball. Dealing with the ire of his classmates inoculated him early on to the hectoring of political opponents who might name him a racist or a xenophobe.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

Like most Americans, Mr. Miller was greatly impacted by 9\/11. He spent weeks researching what happened that day, how it could have happened, and reading countless heartbreaking stories of those who died and the impact on their families. He emerged from his research with strong convictions about the nation\u2019s domestic security priorities.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy aren\u2019t our airports, borders, or ports secure? Why are there 3,000,000 people in the United States who have overstayed their visas? Why isn\u2019t the murder of 3,000 people enough to shake us out of our apathy?\u201d he wrote. \u201cMaybe, if more people researched the true story of Sept. 11, in all its horror, it won\u2019t take another attack, and more untold devastation, to motivate us to fix the perilous status quo.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

Mr. Miller\u2019s conservative values couldn\u2019t be more at odds with those of the progressive, \u201cinclusive\u201d Santa Monica and his family.\n<\/p>\n

His Proudest Moment<\/h2>\n

Mr. Miller attended Duke University, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in political science in 2007. While there, he wrote a conservative column for the student newspaper, The Chronicle, called \u2018Miller Time\u2019, and was executive director of the Duke Conservative Union.\n<\/p>\n

In the fall of his senior year, he made a national name for himself by fiercely defending in his column the white Duke Lacrosse players accused of raping a black woman working in the sex industry. While the liberal media excoriated the players, the charges were later proved false. Mr. Miller calls this \u201chis proudest moment\u201d at Duke.\n<\/p>\n

In 2020, he married his wife Katie, who worked as special assistant to President Trump and press secretary to Vice-President Mike Pence. President Trump attended the wedding. She worked as an aide to Elon Musk in the Department of Government Efficiency and left when Mr. Musk did. Today, Mrs. Miller is an influential podcaster hosting her own show. The couple has three children and is expecting their fourth child.\n<\/p>\n

In 2025, the Miller family was forced to move to secure military housing from their home in Arlington, Virginia, due to death threats, doxxing, and harassment from their neighbors.\n<\/p>\n

His Political Career<\/strong><\/h2>\n

After Duke, Mr. Miller went to work for Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota as her press secretary. In 2009, he went to work for Rep John Shadegg of Arizona and participated in the Tea Party protests against President Obama.\n<\/p>\n

He also worked with Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama as his Communications Director and helped defeat the bipartisan Gang of Eight immigration reform bill in 2014. While working for Sen. Sessions, Mr. Miller authored the Immigration Handbook for the New Republican Majority<\/em><\/strong>. Mr. Miller considered the defeat of the Gang of Eight\u2019s bill as the first step towards fixing the nation\u2019s \u201cporous, undermanned, politically-correct domestic security\u201d system.\n<\/p>\n

Advisor to the President<\/h2>\n

In 2016, Miller left Senator Sessions\u2019 office in 2016 to work for Mr. Trump\u2019s successful presidential campaign, first as his speechwriter, then as a top advisor on immigration issues advocating for a more restrictive policy. Mr. Miller wrote then-candidate Trump\u2019s acceptance speech at the 2016 Republican National Convention and his first inaugural address.\n<\/p>\n

Mr. Miller served as Senior Advisor to the President in Mr. Trump\u2019s first administration. He authored many of President Trump\u2019s Executive Orders, including the order, called by the press, the Muslim travel ban, which was affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court. Mr. Miller advocated for reducing the country\u2019s refugee quota from 110,000 under President Obama. Pres. Trump reduced it to 45,000.\n<\/p>\n

After the 2020 election, Mr. Miller launched an advisory group called America First Legal. Its purpose is to help organize Republican attorneys general against abuses of Joe Biden\u2019s executive branch, focusing on administrative law and executive overreach. According to the Wall Street Journal, Mr. Miller had come to \u201cadmire the effectiveness\u2014and aggressiveness\u2014of the legal campaign Democrats and their supporters mounted against the Trump administration\u2019s agenda.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

President Trump\u2019s Second Term<\/h2>\n

One of President Trump\u2019s first appointments after his landslide victory in the 2024 election was Mr. Miller as White House Deputy Chief of Staff and Homeland Security Advisor on November 13, 2024.\n<\/p>\n

Now in Pres. In Trump\u2019s second term, Mr. Miller is considered the \u201clead architect\u201d of President\u00a0Trump\u2019s immigration policy, specifically the mass deportation of illegal aliens, and tighter border security. It only took one month into President Trump\u2019s second term to close the southern border and stop the overwhelming influx of illegal aliens.\n<\/p>\n

In speaking about the impact of illegal immigration in the U.S., Miller said, \u201cYou\u2019ve seen what it does to living standards. You\u2019ve seen what it does to wages. You\u2019ve seen what it does in terms of transnational cartels. You\u2019ve seen what it has done to the innocent victims of illegal immigrant crime \u2026 You have seen the death and needless destruction.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

Mr. Miller is also a strong supporter of ICE and their work, promising, \u201cTo all ICE officers, you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you, or tries to stop you, or tries to obstruct you is committing a felony.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

He also advocated for ending birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to illegal aliens. \u201cBirthright citizenship is the biggest, costliest scam in financial history.\u201d The Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments on this issue on April 1st and is expected to rule on the constitutionality of including illegal immigrants in birthright citizenship by June of 2026.\n<\/p>\n

Front and Center<\/h2>\n

Mr. Miller\u2019s role today in the Trump Administration goes far beyond immigration issues. Mr. Miller has been front and center of many of Pres. Trump\u2019s boldest undertakings of his second term.\n<\/p>\n

For instance, after the capture of President Maduro of Venezuela and the U.S. striking narco-terrorists drug boats heading to the U.S., Mr Miller has spoken out promoting the \u201cDonroe Doctrine\u201d, an adaptation of the historical Monroe Doctrine, that according to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the U.S. is not going to allow \u201cthe Western Hemisphere to be a base of operation for adversaries, competitors, and rivals.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

Mr. Miller is also instrumental in the president\u2019s policies to cut federal funding to elitist universities such as Columbia and Harvard in order to \u201cbreak what the administration sees as liberalism\u2019s hold on higher education.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

He was behind the call-up of the National Guard to patrol the streets of D.C. \u201cThe nation\u2019s capital can\u2019t be crime-ridden and dangerous,\u201d Mr. Miller said.\n<\/p>\n

After the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Mr. Miller vowed to use the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security to \u201cdisrupt unspecified networks that are responsible for provoking violence.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

A Villain to the Left<\/h2>\n

Due to Mr. Miller\u2019s strong zero-tolerance policy on illegal immigration and his combative style, he is the most hated member of the Trump Administration. More than 127 Democrats in Congress have called for his resignation. In the wake of Kristi Noem\u2019s departure as Homeland Security Secretary, Republican Senator Thom Tillis has also called for Mr. Miller to go as well.\n<\/p>\n

Numerous civil rights groups and illegal immigrant advocacy groups have called for his resignation. According to Migrant Insider, Stephen Miller ranks dead last among 27 political figures by voters with 18% approval. To put the poll in context, Barack and Michelle Obama are ranked #1 and #2.\n<\/p>\n

He is labeled as an \u201cextremist\u201d by the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center. Politico calls him a \u201cpolarizing power broker\u201d. Rolling Stone calls him \u201cthe worst White House aide in history.\u201d The Rabbinical Assembly, representing a \u201cdiversity of American Jewish life\u201d, demands Mr. Miller be fired immediately.\n<\/p>\n

Mr. Miller\u2019s been called a Nazi and compared to Joseph Goebbels, Hitler\u2019s propagandist, as well as Heinrich Himmler, the Nazi official responsible for carrying out Hitler\u2019s \u201cfinal solution.\u201d Mr. Miller is Jewish.\n<\/p>\n

In a sharp rebuke to Mr. Miller\u2019s critics, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated, \u201cStephen Miller has faithfully served President Trump for eleven years because he\u2019s intelligent, hardworking, and loyal. As both Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Adviser, Stephen brings together all corners of the government to ensure every single policy, both foreign and domestic, is implemented at record speed. The results over the course of the past year speak for themselves.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

Mr. Miller\u2019s influence in President Trump\u2019s second term has only grown broader and more powerful. Mr. Miller is one of the very few to have worked every day of President Trump\u2019s first and second administrations. One White House official told CNN, \u201cStephen is laser-focused on implementing the president\u2019s agenda.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

President Trump and Mr. Miller are working with a sense of urgency. They know they only have three more years to implement the president\u2019s agenda, maybe less if the Democrats regain the House or Senate in the 2026 midterms.\n<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s Pray<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Lord, we thank you for Stephen Miller and for his service to our country. Help him to accomplish the plans You have for him and our nation. Grant him wisdom, knowledge, and discernment in his pursuit of policies that are pleasing to You. Pour out Your virtues of courage, integrity, perseverance, justice, and mercy on him as he does his job for the president and the nation. Strengthen and encourage him in the face of adversity.\n<\/p>\n

Provide a mighty hedge of protection securely around Mr. Miller and his family. May no weapon forged against them prevail. Protect them from any physical, emotional, and spiritual harm. Keep them safe from the enemy.\n<\/p>\n

May Mr. Miller and his family know and be encouraged that the King of the Universe is with them wherever they go. May they experience the joy of the Lord. Bless him and his loved ones richly with all they need according to Your riches in glory.\n<\/p>\n

Lord, Mr. Miller is Jewish, one of Your chosen people. We pray that Mr. Miller will come to recognize the true Messiah, Yeshua, as his own Lord and Savior. May he and his family be redeemed, restored, and fulfilled in You, the God of Israel, in Jesus Name, Amen.\n<\/p>\n
