Donald Trump's former immigration policy advisors, Stephen Miller and Thomas Homan, are gearing up for potential roles in a second Trump administration. Both individuals played key roles in the first Trump administration and are staunch defenders of its immigration policies, including the controversial practice of separating parents from their children at the border to deter illegal crossings.

Since leaving office, Miller has become the president of America First Legal, while Homan founded the Border 911 Foundation Inc. Both have been actively involved in challenging President Joe Biden's border policies and advocating for stricter immigration enforcement.

Miller, known for his fiery rhetoric on immigration, has been a vocal proponent of curbing both illegal and legal immigration. Homan, with decades of experience in immigration enforcement, has risen to prominence as a top official in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Trump has promised to implement aggressive deportation measures if re-elected, targeting the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country. Miller and Homan support Trump's hardline stance on illegal immigration, viewing it as a critical national security issue.

Despite facing criticism for their roles in implementing policies such as family separations at the border, Miller and Homan remain steadfast in their commitment to enforcing immigration laws. They argue that tough measures are necessary to secure the country's borders and protect American citizens.

While Miller and Homan do not require Senate approval for their positions, other key immigration officials, such as the ICE director and commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, will play crucial roles in executing the administration's immigration policies.

As Trump continues to prioritize immigration as a central issue, Miller and Homan are poised to play significant roles in shaping the administration's approach to border security and enforcement.
