The New York Times reported that Stephen Miller, the president's new chief of staff, has already shown he intends to press ahead with an immigration crackdown despite an election defeat. The New York Times report on Stephen Miller was written by Zolan Kanno-Youngs and Hamed Aleaziz.
The New York Times summary says Miller has already shown an intention to "forge ahead" with an agenda that many voters rejected. The paper's account places the election result and the continuation of the immigration agenda side by side.
The New York Times headline frames the matter as one in which an election defeat is no reason for Miller to back down on immigration enforcement. The summary does not describe specific policies, timelines, or actions Miller has taken since becoming chief of staff.
The New York Times published the report on November 7, 2026. Its summary does not include any response from Miller, and it does not say whether other officials have commented on the report.
