Donald Trump’s attack dog Stephen Miller is tipped to become the next national security adviser.
Mr Miller, the deputy chief of staff and the brain behind the administration’s immigration crackdown, is the top candidate to replace Mike Waltz, who was axed from the role on Thursday by Mr Trump.
The US president announced Mr Waltz would be appointed to the role of UN ambassador following hours of media fanfare over his removal.
Mr Miller’s name was floated as a possible contender shortly after Mr Trump made the announcement.
A staunch loyalist to the president, he has been an aggressive defender of the administration’s push for the deportations of hundreds of illegal immigrants without court hearings.
In an aggressive Oval Office exchange Mr Miller branded a CNN journalist “arrogant” after she asked about returning Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States, after he was accidentally deported to El Salvador.
While the Trump administration admitted its mistake, members continue to insist that he has links to the violent MS-13 gang, an allegation Mr Abrego Garcia denies.
Mr Miller is known to run Homeland Security Council “like clockwork,” which is “infinitely more effective than the NSC [National Security Council] with a tiny fraction” of the staff, a White House source told Axios.
He has worked closely with Marco Rubio, the secretary of state who has been made interim national security adviser, during his second stint in the White House.
“Marco and Stephen have worked really closely on immigration and it might be a perfect match,” added another White House source.
Another insider said that he is seen among some as the “perfect person” to bring the role up to scratch rather than an “inflated cabinet position”.
