USA: Die Amerikaner strafen MAGA ab – und Trump befördert einen der radikalsten Vertreter zu seinem Stabschef

In the aftermath of the Republican Party's disastrous election results, US President Donald Trump is reshaping his inner circle in the White House. Replacing Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, who oversaw Trump's presidential campaign, is Stephen Miller, who previously served as Deputy Chief of Staff. This promotion suggests that Trump remains committed to his course despite the defeat in the congressional elections, where the Republicans lost their majority in both chambers to the Democrats.

Miller is seen as a key driver behind Trump's aggressive immigration policies, which have particularly alienated the Latino community. This shift in policy was especially evident in Texas, where the state senate seat was won by a Democrat for the first time in decades. Miller has been known for his controversial and at times inhumane remarks.

Earlier this year, during a controversial incident, Miller referred to Intensive Care Unit nurse Alex Pretti as a "terrorist" by the ICE, despite there being no evidence to support such a claim. The hard-line immigration policies have been criticized even by many Republicans as overly aggressive. Numerous documented cases have highlighted the brutal treatment meted out by ICE agents.
