Tackling elite colleges and D.C. fountains, Stephen Miller's reach goes beyond immigration
NBC News
Stephen Miller is the face of Donald Trump’s immigration agenda, but he is also helping drive efforts to root out "woke" culture on college campuses.
WASHINGTON — Most people know Stephen Miller as the steely face of Donald Trump’s deportation push.
But Miller has other jobs inside the West Wing; lots of other jobs.
A given day might find Miller pressing to fix the dry, malfunctioning fountains in Washington, D.C., or to replace broken security cameras on the city’s streets, a senior administration official said.
He is helping drive the president’s effort to force changes on college campuses meant to uproot what Trump believes is an embedded liberal culture. “He [Miller] wants to focus on it,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who said he has spoken directly to Miller about Trump’s education agenda. “We need to do something about these universities, they’re just out of hand here.”
At 10:00 a.m., Miller runs a daily meeting with senior federal officials where the topic might be sinking a boat in the Caribbean that the administration deems suspicious or breaking up a drug cartel.
