White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Adviser BEFORE: Senior adviser to Donald Trump during his first term; architect of key immigration policies, including the travel ban and family separation policy NOTABLE QUOTE: “The criminals are going home. The border is sealed shut. America is safe, sovereign, proud, and free.”


During Trump’s first term,


Miller was instrumental in formulating and implementing stringent immigration policies, such as the travel ban affecting several predominantly Muslim countries and the controversial family separation policy at the U.S.-Mexico border. Miller now oversees the administration’s policy development and homeland security initiatives. He has been a vocal


advocate for reducing the influence of entrenched bureaucrats within the federal government. He criticized the media for overlooking former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline while focusing on Elon Musk’s role in the administration. Miller’s influence extends to


immigration, national security, and administrative reforms. He has been a key figure in the administration’s efforts to reshape the federal workforce and streamline government operations.

advance President Donald Trump’s “America First” agenda at the UN. She emphasized her


commitment to confronting antisemitism, supporting Israel’s sovereignty, and countering the influence of adversarial nations within the organization. Stefanik also expressed


intentions to reform the UN by addressing ineficiencies and biases, aligning with the administration’s broader foreign policy objectives. In her capacity as


ambassador, Stefanik has been vocal about restructuring the UN to eliminate what she describes as systemic antisemitism and anti-American sentiments. She has advocated for


a global version of the Department of Government Eficiency (DOGE) to streamline government operations. Stefanik’s approach


reflects a broader strategy to reassert American sovereignty and influence within international institutions.
