Overview
- The Atlantic report published Monday detailed Miller’s waning sway and quoted aides saying President Trump thinks he sometimes goes too far.
- Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and border czar Tom Homan led this year’s DHS funding talks on Capitol Hill, reflecting a shift that one senior official described as law enforcement being in charge.
- DHS has pulled back tactics tied to Miller’s push, including drawing down forces in Minnesota after fatal shootings and directing agents to scale back courthouse cuffings and warrantless arrests, which reduces the chance of people being detained during routine court visits.
- ICE has ended Miller’s fast‑track hiring push by dropping the eight‑week academy and returning to a roughly four‑and‑a‑half‑month training course, according to multiple officials.
- White House officials say Miller remains a trusted adviser who still hosts daily 10 a.m. immigration calls, even as reporting shows operational control has moved to Mullin, Homan, and CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott.
