Stephen Miller, Trump’s immigration mastermind – podcast

Stephen Miller is the man behind Donald Trump’s most controversial immigration policies, from separating children and their parents at the southern border to the sharp rise in arrests now being made by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.

The journalist and writer Jean Guerrero explains to Nosheen Iqbal that Miller’s hostility towards immigrants was evident from a young age and over the years key figures have shaped the tactics and language he now uses.

The pair discuss the power that Miller holds today, the importance of Miller to the Trump administration and what lies behind his political longevity.
