[font size=5]Stephen Miller[/font]

Miller grew up in a liberal-leaning Jewish family in Santa Monica, California.[2] Though his parents were Democrats, Miller became a conservative after reading National Rifle Association CEO Wayne LaPierre's Guns, Crime, and Freedom.[3] While attending Santa Monica High School, Miller began appearing on conservative talk radio.[3] In 2002, at the age of sixteen, Miller wrote a letter to the editor of The Santa Monica Evening Outlook, in which he stated that "Osama Bin Laden would feel very welcome at Santa Monica High School."[4]

In 2007,[5] Miller received his bachelor's degree from Duke University, majoring in political science.[3] Miller served as president of the Duke chapter of Students for Academic Freedom and wrote conservative columns for the school newspaper. Miller gained national attention for his defense of the lacrosse players in the Duke lacrosse case.[3][6] While attending Duke University, Miller accused the poet Maya Angelou of "racial paranoia" and described student organization MEChA as a "radical national Hispanic group that believes in racial superiority." ....

After graduating from college, Miller worked as a press secretary for Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and Congressman John Shadegg, both members of the Republican Party.[8] Miller started working for Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions in 2009,[8] rising to the position of communications director.[3] In the 113th Congress, Miller played a major role in defeating the Gang of Eight's proposed immigration reform bill.[3][8] Miller and Sessions developed what Miller describes as "nation-state populism," a response to globalization and immigration that would strongly influence Donald Trump's 2016 campaign.[3] Miller also worked on Dave Brat's successful 2014 House campaign, which unseated Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantor.[3] ....

Miller, along with Steve Bannon, is credited with writing Trump's inaugural address.[12] In the early days of the Trump administration, Miller continues to work with Jeff Sessions, the not-yet-confirmed candidate for Attorney General, and Steve Bannon, Trump's chief strategist, to enact policies restricting immigration and a rebuke on sanctuary cities.[13]
