STEPHEN MILLER

Desperate families of migrants from Mexico and Central America are seeking word of their loved ones as authorities begin identifying 51 people who died after being abandoned in a tractor-trailer without air conditioning in the sweltering Texas heat.

The House Jan. 6 panel has interviewed more than 1,000 people who were directly or indirectly involved in the U.S. Capitol insurrection as it's probed the violent attack and former President Donald Trump’s unprecedented efforts to overturn his election defeat.

At the start of the pandemic, the Trump Administration invoked an obscure provision called Title 42 to effectively stop migration. Even as other COVID restrictions are lifted, anti-immigration politicians insist that it remain in place.

House investigators are unlikely to call former President Donald Trump to testify about his role in the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection.

In the 1990s, Republicans spread fear over people of color "replacing" white people in California. It's tenet of white supremacy we must confront.

And what that reveals about attitudes toward Afghanistan refugees

The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection has interviewed nearly 1,000 people.

The Homeland Security secretary said action is quickly taken if undocumented immigrants lose their cases but government statistics tell a different story.

Republicans hoping to emerge from crowded primaries this year have spent tens of thousands of dollars hiring operatives with ties to former President Donald Trump.

Lawmakers pressed Stephen Miller during a daylong closed-door interview about Donald Trump’s speech at a rally that preceded the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

Stephen Miller, who served as a top aide to President Donald Trump, has been questioned for hours by the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.

Stephen Miller, who served as a top aide to President Donald Trump, will appear Thursday before the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection, according to two people familiar with the matter. Miller was a senior adviser for policy during the Trump administration and a central figure in many of the Republican's policy decisions. It's unclear whether Miller will appear in person or virtually.

An Ohio man charged with stealing a coat rack from the U.S. Capitol doesn't deny that he joined the mob that stormed the building last year.

Former Trump administration strategist Stephen Miller caught flak after revealing that he was still on his parents' family cellphone plan, while trying to block a subpoena for his phone records from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.

T-Mobile was served with a subpoena for Miller's phone records in late February, according to the complaint filed by the former Trump adviser.

The U.S. government has withdrawn from settlement negotiations to end lawsuits filed on behalf of parents and children who were forcibly separated under the Trump administration’s zero-tolerance border policy.

At least 13 former Trump administration officials violated the law by intermingling campaigning with their official government duties.

House investigators have issued subpoenas to 10 more former officials who worked for Donald Trump at the end of his presidency.

Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming says former President Donald Trump is at war “with the rule of law and the Constitution” and that GOP lawmakers who sit by silently are aiding his efforts.

The latest round of subpoenas came a day after the same panel issued subpoenas to six top allies of former President Donald Trump.

Army Capt. Kim Pierre-Zamora remembers the protective vest she was issued when she went to basic training.

"We didn't think about serving the country anymore, it was about surviving in there," Grisham told ABC News about her time in the White House.

Former White House senior adviser Stephen Miller said he's speaking to lawmakers to build opposition to the Biden administration refugee agenda.

"What do you guys want?" Miller said during the meeting, according to CNN. "A bunch of Iraqs and 'Stans across the country?"

As the U.S. rushes to evacuate Americans and allies from Afghanistan, a growing number of Republicans are questioning why the U.S. should take in Afghan citizens who worked side by side with Americans.

"Stephen Miller never wore a uniform a day in his life. He's a privileged little brat," veteran and advocate Matt Zeller said of the ex-Trump adviser.

When the press release from the Department of Homeland Security landed at 5:13 p.m. Friday, it appeared to report good news about the border.

They offer vivid details, and try to save their reputations, in a new book by Post reporters.

In the Oval Office later that morning, Trump huddled with aides and family members. The president went in and out of the dining room to check on TV coverage, hoping to gauge the size of the crowd on the Ellipse. Senior White House officials Mark Meadows, Keith Kellogg and Eric Herschmann were there, too, as were the president’s adult children Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump, and Kimberly Guilfoyle, Trump Jr.'s girlfriend. Some of those around the president encouraged his fantasy of Pence the hero stepping in to overturn the election. Guilfoyle, referring to the growing crowd on the Ellipse, told him, “They’re just reflecting the will of the people.

Yang, a Democrat running to be New York City's mayor, said he was "standing with the people of Israel" and condemned "Hamas terrorists."

Former Trump aide says funds meant for non-white farmers were discriminatory

The former Trump staffer is credited as the architect of the migrant child separation policy

Former White House Speechwriter Director Stephen Miller said on Thursday that the Biden administration's "sheer recklessness" over his immigration policy is "striking."

Miller's professed devotion to bipartisanship contrasted with his ruthless pursuit when in power of policies like separating families at the border.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper retweeted the bombshell report on Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo that broke on Wednesday but apparently did not have any time to acknowledge it on his two-hour program.

The group, America First Legal Foundation, launched with the backing of former President Donald Trump.

Former Vice President Mike Pence has launched a new advocacy group as he and other Trump administration officials look to boost their post-White House plans.

The north Alabama Republican announced his entry into the race at an event with former Trump adviser Stephen Miller. And as President Trump can vouch, I don't cut and run. “Nobody has had President Trump’s back more over the last four years than Mo Brooks. Your vote for Mo Brooks will allow him to carry on the America First agenda," Miller said as he gave his support to Brooks. Some carried signs reading “Traitor Mo has got to go” and that “Mo Brooks words incited violence."

Team Brownsville, a humanitarian group, is helping the migrants reach their final destination in the U.S. A surge of migrants on the Southwest border has the Biden administration on the defensive. Still, the encounters of both unaccompanied minors and families remain lower than at various points during the Trump administration, including in spring 2019. They deride the policies Trump implemented to deter asylum as cruel and inhumane and an abdication of the country’s humanitarian responsibilities. "The Trump administration did everything in their power for four years to make the already broken immigration system as cumbersome and ineffective as possible. ... You leave yourself nowhere to go.”Ad“They’re kind of stuck in a corner,” agreed Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies think tank, which advocates on behalf of more restrictive immigration policies.

Other GOP efforts to define Biden as a radical or to attack his mental acuity also didn't resonate. Some Republicans argue it will simply take time for the GOP to organize against Biden, given the honeymoon period most new presidents enjoy. All the while, the Biden White House is underscoring its attempts at bipartisanship, putting the Republicans on the defensive for not signing onto the broadly popular COVID relief bill.

As he prepares to exit the White House, President Donald Trump is rewarding some supporters and like-minded allies with the perks and prestige that come with serving on federal advisory boards and commissions. “But nobody does these things with more politicization than Trump,” Light said. The positions have what Light describes as “gorgeous resume value.”The number of advisory board positions has ballooned over the years. Among the most consequential of the wave of appointments has been with advisory boards at the Pentagon.

NEW YORK – One of publishing's most thriving genres of the past four years, books about President Donald Trump, is not going to end when he leaves office. In 2021 and beyond, look for waves of releases about the Trump administration and about the president's loss to Democratic candidate Joe Biden. “But there are tens of millions of Americans who look to the Trump presidency as an important time and are fans of his administration. Center Street, a Hachette Book Group imprint, has published Donald Trump Jr., Newt Gingrich and Judge Jeanine Pirro among others. Any publisher signing with Trump or a top administration official might face the anger not just of Trump critics among the general public, but from within the industry.

A rescue helicopter couldn't land in the steep terrain, but authorities dropped water before border agents arrived and whisked them back to Tijuana, Mexico. Lopez quickly recovered and began planning another attempt to reach San Diego, where he hopes to earn a more steady living. The annual figure hasn't topped 14% since the Border Patrol began keeping track seven years ago. “It’s a little bit more of the revolving door than it used to be,” said Scott, the Border Patrol chief. Border Patrol agents may refer people for screening under the U.N. Convention Against Torture, but the bar is extremely high.

Democrat Joe Biden promises to raise the annual refugee cap to 125,000 if he wins Nov. 3. As many as 1,000 refugees who were ready to travel now may not be eligible because they don't fit into one of the categories, said Mark Hetfield, president of HIAS, a refugee resettlement group. For example, many Syrians may no longer qualify because no category is for those fleeing war, he said. The Trump administration also has rolled back other humanitarian protections, like Temporary Protected Status for 400,000 immigrants fleeing natural disasters or violence. Across the globe, an Iraqi woman whose father helped the U.S. military does not know why her case stalled.

Before the election, The Associated Press is examining some of his immigration policies, including restrictions on international students. Roughly 5.3 million students study outside their home countries, a number that’s more than doubled since 2001. The pandemic has only exacerbated things, including a short-lived Trump administration rule requiring international students to leave if their schools held online-only classes. The Trump administration has floated curtailing Optional Practical Training, a popular program allowing international students to work. NAFSA estimated that since 2016, the decline of new international students cost the U.S. nearly $12 billion and at least 65,000 jobs.

Critics note asylum-seekers are sent to countries with high levels of violence and poverty and little infrastructure to handle asylum claims. The coronavirus struck before flights began to Honduras and El Salvador, putting those launches on hold. Biden has pledged to undo many, but not all, of Trump’s policies. With the pandemic and other issues, it is unclear how much appetite Biden would have to tackle all that Trump has done. Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador were under heavy U.S. pressure to acquiesce last year, with Trump threatening at times to cut off international aid.

A group protests the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus in the White House, Thursday, Oct. 8, 2020, outside the White House in Washington. While Trump said he believes he's no longer contagious, concerns about infection appeared to scuttle plans for next week's presidential debate. I think perfect," Trump said during a telephone interview with Fox Business, his first since he was released from a three-day hospital stay Monday. The White House, meanwhile, continued to decline to share when Trump last tested negative for the virus — which would help pinpoint when he was infected. Aides were discussing a potential photo opportunity with the president at the White House either Thursday or Friday but plans had not been finalized, according to two White House officials not authorized to publicly discuss internal deliberations.

In a new White House video posted Wednesday evening, Trump said his illness had shed light on an experimental antibody cocktail that he tied to his improved condition. The White House has released only limited details about his condition and treatment, leading to questions about what lies ahead for Trump. Access to Trump for White House aides has been extremely limited since his discharge. All told, more than a dozen White House staffers have tested positive. He also thanked a supporter who tweeted she “would wade though a sea of COVID infested water to vote for President Trump on November 3rd."

__3:45 p.m.House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says President Donald Trump is "putting himself first at the expense of the country” by halting negotiations over a new coronavirus aid package from Congress. The White House said at the time that it had raised the price tag on its own proposal to $1.6 trillion. ___1:30 p.m.Sen. Kamala Harris tested negative for the coronavirus on Monday, two days before her debate with Vice President Mike Pence. The Commission on Presidential Debates requires everyone accessing the debate site to have tested negative.

Trump again publicly played down the virus on Twitter after his return from a three-day hospitalization, though even more aides tested positive, including one of his closest advisers, Stephen Miller. Stocks fell on the White House news. It was not known how Ray contracted the virus, but he attended an event for military families at the White House on Sept. 27. Miller’s wife, Katie Miller, who serves as communications director to Vice President Mike Pence, had the virus earlier this year. First lady Melania Trump was isolating upstairs in the White House.

Mandatory Credit: Peter Casey-USA TODAY SportsWASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump attended the wedding on Sunday of one of his top aides, immigration hardliner Stephen Miller, to Vice President Mike Pences spokeswoman, Katie Waldman. The wedding took place at the Trump International Hotel, a few blocks from the White House. Miller has largely led Trumps efforts to crack down on legal and illegal immigration to the United States. Miller has largely taken the lead in advocating for those and other efforts to tighten U.S. immigration policies during Trumps tenure.

Senator Elizabeth Warren said on Tuesday if elected to the White House she would use every tool at her disposal to combat white nationalist violence, beginning with directing the FBI and Justice Department to put a renewed focus on domestic terrorism. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) speaks at a SEA/SEIU Local 1984 Member Town Hall in Concord, New Hampshire, U.S., November 13, 2019. The White House has defended Miller, telling the New York Times that SPLC libels, slanders and defames conservatives.Warren said the nearly 18,000 police and law enforcement agencies in the United States should adopt standard metrics to track hate crimes and white nationalist groups. Warren said she would direct the National Counterterrorism Center to work with international partners to investigate white supremacist violence, and when white nationalist groups are deemed a threat elsewhere she will direct the State Department to add them to its list of foreign terrorist organizations. Senators Kamala Harris and Cory Booker are among Warrens White House rivals who have put out their own plans for dealing what they respectively called domestic terrorism and white supremacist violence.

"That plaque was put on the Statue of Liberty at almost the same time as the first public charge was passed -- very interesting timing." Cuccinelli was asked about Lazarus' poem on Monday and whether the new immigration changes would merit its removal from the statue's pedestal. "I do not think, by any means, we're ready to take anything off the Statue of Liberty," he said. Strict immigration policiesThe Trump administration has taken the toughest stance against legal and illegal immigration of any presidency in modern times. The poem that you're referring to was added later (and) is not actually part of the original Statue of Liberty."

REUTERS/Jorge Duenes(Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trumps administration unveiled a new rule on Monday that could deny permanent residency to hundreds of thousands of people for being too poor. Under the new rules, more than half of all family-based green card applicants would be denied, according to the Migration Policy Institute, a research organization. The new rule is derived from the Immigration Act of 1882, which allows the U.S. government to deny a visa to anyone likely to become a public charge. Immigration officers in recent years have defined visa applicants as a public charge if they are likely to become primarily dependent on government assistance. Most nonresident immigrants are ineligible for the major aid programs until they get green cards, but the new rule published by the Department of Homeland Security expands the definition of a public charge that stands to disqualify more people. Applicants will now need to show higher levels of income to get a visa, and the rule greatly expands the list of government benefits that would disqualify them from obtaining U.S. residency.
