White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is navigating a series of significant political and legal hurdles this week, as Graham Gremore reported for Queerty. The turbulence began following a 5-4 Supreme Court decision, authored by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, which allows states to count mail-in ballots postmarked on or before Election Day. Miller publicly criticized the ruling during a recent television interview, arguing that the court had caved to political pressure.
The setbacks continued when the Supreme Court issued a 6-3 ruling to uphold birthright citizenship, rejecting an executive order that sought to deny citizenship to children born to undocumented or temporary residents. Miller has been a vocal opponent of the 14th Amendment’s current application and recently argued on television that ending birthright citizenship was essential for the country’s future.
Adding to the friction, reports indicate Miller may have been bypassed in a major administrative decision. The president recently nominated a former highway patrolman to lead Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). According to insider sources, the selection was made without Miller’s input, sparking rumors of internal discord, though a White House spokesperson has denied these claims and stated Miller was fully involved in the process.
