Stephen Miller (born August 23, 1985) is an American far right political activist who serves as a senior advisor for policy for President Donald Trump.
He was previously the communications director for then-Senator Jeff Sessions.
He was also a press secretary for Republican Representatives Michele Bachmann and John Shadegg.
As a speechwriter for Trump, Miller helped write Trump's inaugural address.
He has been a key adviser since the early days of Trump's presidency.
An immigration hardliner, Miller was a chief architect of Trump's travel ban, the administration's reduction of refugees accepted to the United States, and Trump's policy of separating migrant children from their parents.
He has prevented the publication of internal administration studies that showed that refugees had a net positive effect on government revenues.
Miller reportedly played a central role in the resignation in April 2019 of Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen, who he believed was insufficiently hawkish on immigration.As a White House spokesman, Miller has on multiple occasions made false and unsubstantiated claims regarding widespread electoral fraud.
Emails leaked in November 2019 showed that Miller had promoted white nationalist publications and conspiracy theories.
