Stephen Miller: The Man Behind Trump’s Immigration Policies (with Jean Guerrero)

Stephen Miller, the architect behind many Trump-era immigration policies, recently established America First Legal, a conservative organization aimed at "resisting the radical left's agenda." This week, we break down who Miller is, the policies he enacted, and how he came into power. Later on in the episode, we spoke with journalist and author of Hatemonger: Stephen Miller, Donald Trump and the White Nationalist Agenda about what contributes to Miller's worldview, and why immigration was the most logical vehicle for him to advance white nationalist talking points.
