The deputy White House chief of staff has emerged as a key enforcer of the D.C. operation in the month since Trump federalized the local police department.
From the head of the conference table in the White House’s Roosevelt Room, Stephen Miller was in the weeds of President Donald Trump’s takeover of policing in the nation’s capital.
The White House deputy chief of staff wanted to know where exactly groups of law enforcement officers would be deployed. He declared that cleaning up D.C. was one of Trump’s most important domestic policy issues and that Miller himself planned to be involved for a long time.
Miller’s remarks were described to The Washington Post by two people with knowledge of the meeting who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal White House business. The result is a behind-the-scenes glimpse of one of Trump’s most trusted aides in action, someone who has emerged as a key enforcer of the D.C. operation in the month since Trump federalized the local police department and deployed thousands of National Guard troops to patrol city streets. While widely seen as a vocal proponent for the president’s push on immigration and law and order, Miller’s actions reveal how much he is actually driving that agenda inside the White House.
“It’s his thing,” one White House official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss personnel matters. "Security, crime, law enforcement — it’s his wheelhouse.”
Miller’s team provides an updated report each morning on the arrests made the night before to staff from the White House, Justice Department and Department of Homeland Security, among others. The readouts include a breakdown of how many of those arrested are undocumented immigrants.
He has also led weekly meetings in the Roosevelt Room with his staff and members of the D.C...

The WaPo knows have to run ANY part of a Trump Gov’t?
The WaPo knows how to run ANY part of a Trump Gov’t?
Unnamed sources are reliable when the WaPo says so. Not reliable when they say otherwise.
Both posts failed, but I know what you’re trying to say.
If he was acting like it would never go back to civillian rule, one could argue it.
But hes not. Its like Iraq. Come in, deal with bad stuff they can’t/won’t, stabilize it, then work with them to eventually have it all under their control and still be effective.
Trump is Robinhood. He is “legally” taking from the rich and giving the opportunity to the people. We have our own oligarchs and unlike the Russians we don’t kill them.
Bkmk
I, and the Constitution, support this.
Emily and Natalie, The Washington Compost authors of this screed, are simply trying to appease their loony editors, get a paycheck, and rush to their local bistro to obtain the fawning approval of their fellow travelers.
According to “two people with knowledge of the meeting who spoke on the condition of anonymity.”
Can you be a little more vague?
LOL. Miller lives rent free in the heads of the WaPo. He communicates the MAGA message better than anyone.
So unreliable. Sophomoric journalism.
Miller should be working on retroceding the land back to Maryland along with the inhabitants. Democrats will absolutely steal 2 senate seats as soon as they return to power, if this isn’t done.
According to tweedledee and tweedledum.
Can you explain what that means?
At the founding, DC was created as a 100 sq mile independent enclave. Both Virginia and Maryland donated the land for this purpose. In 1847, all the Virginia land was sent back to that commonwealth (retrocession). Now DC exists entirely on land donated by Maryland and leftists are hankering to make it a full state, with a single Representative and 2 Senators. Sending the inhabited areas back to Maryland, and making those inhabitants into Marylanders stops the democrat ability to manufacture a new state, and stealing the Senate.
Thank you.
