Stephen Miller has been a fixture in Donald Trumps orbit for years and is taking on an even larger role to enforce MAGA policies nationwide. 

The known border hawk and longtime Trump aide has had a winding career in Washington working multiple roles on Capitol Hill before heading to the White House.

Touted as Trumps chief immigration policy architect, Miller first joined Trumps campaign team in January 2016 and served the new President-elect through 2020. 

Since then, he has advanced conservative policies and kept close ties to MAGA power brokers through his nonprofit, America First Legal. 

Now, Miller will serve as Trumps deputy chief of staff for policy, a huge position that will shape the administrations future.

Miller, 38, is originally from Santa Monica, California, where his conservative roots first began to grow. 

He showed an affinity for calling into conservative radio shows and penning articles praising Republicans at an early age, and later studied political science at Duke University. 

David Horowitz, a conservative commentator, was an influential political thought leader Miller looked to growing up. Later that connection proved useful when Miller was looking for a job in politics. 

After graduating from Duke, Horowitz helped Miller land a job with ex-Rep. Michelle Bachmann, R-Minn., as a press secretary. 

After a few years in the office Miller later moved to join the office of former Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., who was later tapped to be Attorney General by Trump.

While in Sessions office Miller was recruited in January 2016 to join then-candidate Trumps campaign to serve as a senior policy advisor. 

While on the trail Miller regularly served as a warm-up act for the GOP candidate - a role he would later continue on future campaigns for the president-elect. 

He is credited with penning Trumps 2016 Republican National Convention acceptance speech.  

When Trump was in the Oval Office, Miller continued to serve as a speechwriter and senior advisor. 

One of the few advisors to serve Trumps entire administration from 2017 - 2021, the conservative staffer was a driving force behind many of the presidents immigration policies. 

Constructing the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, separating migrant family units arriving at that border and banning terrorists from entering the U.S. - particularly individuals from majority-Muslim nations - were all Trump-era policies influenced by Miller.

During Trumps first administration Miller met his future wife Katie Waldman, now Katie Miller. 

She worked in the Department of Homeland Security before eventually working as communications director for former Vice President Mike Pence. 

The two wed in February 2020 and share two sons and a daughter.  

After Trumps 2020 election loss, Miller stuck around D.C. and founded the conservative nonprofit America First Legal. 

The group has mustered up legal challenges to federal diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, affirmative action, and immigration policies - all top issues for Trump.

American First Legal brought a lawsuit against Target regarding its radical LGBTQ political agenda. 

The group also filed a complaint against home goods supplier Williams-Sonoma for potentially violating equal opportunity employment regulations.  

In the past months Miller has joined Trump on the road campaigning, often serving as a surrogate to wind up MAGA-adoring crowds by decrying the terrors of President Joe Biden and Kamala Harris immigration agenda. 

His harsh criticisms of immigration policy have long made him an antagonist to the left, who has accused him of being xenophobic.  

He’s a despicable human being that is a racist and a xenophobe, and his own family has disowned him, CNN pundit Tara Setmayer said Monday after Miller was announced Trumps deputy chief of staff. 

She called him a despicable human being moments after the pick was announced. 

Setmayer was referring to Millers estranged uncle who came out against his hardline immigration positions in the previous administration.

And Miller is likely to advocate for even stricter immigration policies after over 10 million migrants have been encountered crossing the southern border, according to congressional data.

In a September post on X responding to Mark Cuban, Miller floated some of the immigration policies that Trumps team wants to implement once the president-elect is sworn in come January. 

Miller promised then that there will be a 100 percent perfect deportation rate under Trump.

Deploying Title 42/Safe 3rds/Remain in Mexico/Asylum Bars to achieve a one hundred percent perfect deportation rate at the border, finishing the wall, significantly enhancing criminal penalties for human smuggling and trafficking, and launching a DOD embargo of drug vessels from South America, Miller wrote. 

Miller continued: Terminating all of Kamalas expedited entry and parole programs for illegals at the ports and by plane, terminating all Harris-imposed limits on ICE enforcement operations, restoring and expanding the terror travel ban, suspending refugee resettlement, and using 287(g) state and local partnerships in conjunction with federal law enforcement and DOD logistical support to carry out the largest domestic deportation operation in U.S. history.
