House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) has called for the immediate removal of Stephen Miller from the Trump administration, labeling the newly appointed White House chief of staff a “dangerous xenophobe” and “reckless extremist.” The fiery condemnation came just hours before President Donald Trump announced Miller’s promotion.
“Stephen Miller is a dangerous xenophobe and reckless extremist who has American blood on his hands,” Jeffries wrote in a scathing post on X. “His presence in government should be eradicated like a malignant tumor.”
Trump Defends Miller Appointment
Trump made the surprise announcement on Truth Social, revealing that Miller—previously serving as deputy chief of staff—would replace outgoing chief of staff Susie Wiles. The president praised Miller as “one of my most trusted advisors” while thanking Wiles for her “outstanding job.”
The move immediately drew backlash from Democratic lawmakers. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) accused Miller of being the “chief architect of Trump’s racist, cruel, and un-American campaign of terror” and suggested he “should be under investigation, not running the White House.”
Democrats Unite in Condemnation
Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA) joined the chorus of criticism, calling Miller’s promotion a continuation of “the politics of hatred, lawlessness, and failure.” Beyer specifically pointed to Miller’s role in shaping Trump’s hardline immigration policies, which he claimed “plunged quiet American communities into violence.”
The Democratic outcry follows years of controversy surrounding Miller, a key architect of Trump’s immigration agenda. His elevation to chief of staff signals a doubling down on the administration’s most contentious policies as Trump begins his second term.
