The big question
Does Miller’s elevation come with a specific new immigration or executive-power policy plan?
No specific policy change or plan accompanying Miller’s appointment is described by the available accounts.
What happens next
- Stephen Miller’s scheduled start as White House chief of staff on Monday.
- Whether House Republicans publicly escalate their opposition after Fox News described anger within the House GOP over Miller’s promotion.
Bottom line
Putting Miller in the chief-of-staff role gives a central architect of Trump’s immigration agenda a more powerful position in the White House.
