Miller, one of Trump’s longest-serving aides, has played a role in many of Trump’s policy proposals, particularly on immigration.

Trump, will return to the White House to serve as deputy chief of policy in Trump’s new administration, according to Vice President-elect JD Vance.

Vance, a Senator from Ohio, confirmed reports of Miller’s appointment via social media.

“This is another fantastic pick by the president,” Vance wrote in an X post, congratulating Miller on his new position.

As the role is not a Cabinet position, it will not require Senate confirmation.

While the names and faces surrounding Trump have changed over the years, Miller has been a fixture on the president-elect’s team since his first presidential bid. He has also been at the center of many of Trump’s policy proposals, particularly on immigration.

Prior to joining Trump’s 2016 campaign, Miller worked for a handful of congressional Republicans, including former Reps. Michelle Bachman (R-Minn.) and John Shadegg (R-Ariz.) and former Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.).

While serving as Sessions’s communications director, Miller played a pivotal role in defeating the Gang of Eight’s 2013 immigration reform bill, which included a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants.

Trump later picked Sessions, one of the bill’s most vocal detractors, as his first attorney general.

On the campaign trail in 2016, Miller often served as a spokesman for Trump. He would also hype up the crowds at rallies before the candidate’s speeches, which he had a hand in crafting.

Since leaving the White House, Miller has continued to defend Trump’s policies and agenda as the president of America First Legal, a conservative nonprofit he launched alongside other former Trump advisers in April 2021.

“Those who believe in America First must not shy away from using our legal system to defend our society and our families from any unlawful actions by the left,” Miller said at the time.

“Those looking to hold the new administration in Washington to account finally have their answer. Our self-imposed policy of legal disarmament is now over.”

An outspoken critic of the Biden administration’s border policies, Miller, through America First Legal, sued to stop the administration’s “catch-and-release” border policy during the COVID-19 pandemic.
