Trump Put Stephen Miller In Charge of Immigration

April 8, 2019 at 8:00 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

President Trump recently told senior adviser Stephen Miller that he’s “in charge” of his administration’s immigration policy, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Trump and Miller reportedly want to reinstate the zero-tolerance policy, which received immense backlash last year. Miller reportedly told officials to “get in line” with the president’s policy vision.
