POLICY WIRE — Washington, D.C. — Stephen Miller, a key architect of former President Donald Trump’s immigration policies, is spearheading efforts to deport thousands of individuals to countries other than their own while also pushing for the removal of nearly 200,000 children from the U.S.
The administration has allocated at least $410 million to over 30 nations in Africa and Latin America to facilitate these deportations, according to records reviewed by The Washington Post. Immigration lawyers have criticized the practice as an illegal loophole that sends vulnerable individuals back to dangerous homelands they fled.

Miller is also overseeing a White House initiative to increase the number of immigrant children being removed from the country. Over 200,000 minors have been ordered deported since Trump returned to office, with more than 70% under the age of 13. Legal advocates warn that these actions undermine U.S. law and international refugee protections, which prohibit returning people to places where they could face persecution or harm.
