Miller’s hardline stances, including advocating for daily ICE arrests and labeling a deceased protester as a “domestic terrorist,” have allegedly led the President to believe Miller “sometimes go[es] too far.” This shift is evidenced by a decline in ICE arrests and detentions, despite a staffing increase championed by Miller. While White House Communications Director Steven Cheung insists Trump “loves Stephen,” the president’s current focus appears to be on a more collaborative approach to immigration policy, with experienced figures like Tom Homan now reportedly taking a leading role.
