Monday is Stephen Miller's first day as the White House chief of staff. He was tapped for the role by President Donald Trump shortly after Democrats swept the midterm election. He's been one of Trump's closest advisers for years, and a driving force behind the administration's hardline anti-immigration policies.
A new report from The Washington Sun shows how Miller pushed federal officials to focus specifically on alleged fraud among Somali Minnesotans, and how that effort became intertwined with Operation Metro Surge last winter.
Natalie Alms reported the story and joined Minnesota Now host Nina Moini to talk about Miller’s tenure during the second Trump administration.
