White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller addressed the Trump administration’s immigration policy during an interview on the conservative news program ‘Hannity,’ emphasizing the intent of the recently passed ‘big, beautiful bill.’ The legislation, which has been approved by Congress, is meant to fully fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), border patrol, and federal officers. According to Miller, this funding will allow the agencies to operate more efficiently and enhance their capabilities in enforcing immigration laws.
The bill’s passage comes amid ongoing debates over immigration reform and border security. Miller asserted that the measure is a critical step toward addressing the administration’s priorities, including the deportation of undocumented immigrants and the expansion of immigration enforcement efforts. While the legislation has been met with mixed reactions, Miller defended the policy as necessary to uphold the rule of law and protect national security.
During the interview, Miller also highlighted the administration’s broader strategy to tackle immigration challenges through increased funding and personnel for enforcement agencies. He argued that the bill would allow for the hiring of more agents and the modernization of facilities, ensuring that the immigration system is both secure and effective. Despite criticisms from some lawmakers and advocacy groups, Miller maintained that the bill represents a significant achievement for the administration’s immigration agenda.
