The cast of characters surrounding Donald Trump has changed frequently over the years. But one person who has remained at the president-elect's side throughout is Stephen Miller, who's best known for his fierce anti-immigration views.

Miller, one of Trump's "longest-serving and most trusted advisers," is expected to serve in the new Trump White House as the deputy chief of staff for policy, said NPR. He will focus on "writing and implementing Trump's immigration agenda," setting the stage for the mass deportation of millions of undocumented migrants.

'He was this way before Trump'
Miller first burst into public view as a provocative student newspaper columnist during the Duke University lacrosse scandal in 2006 in which three members were accused of rape, said William D. Cohan at Vanity Fair. During the first Trump administration, Miller gained notoriety for backing efforts to separate migrant children from their families. "He was this way before Trump," said Nick Silverman, a high school classmate.

Miller spent his time between Trump administrations "litigating loudly" with the America First Legal Foundation, said The New York Times. The nonprofit outfit was noted for its "unabashed connection to MAGA ideology," said Thomas Healy, a professor of law at Seton Hall University, filing cases challenging diversity initiatives at big corporations and state agencies across the country. The group was a "top legal foe" of Biden administration initiatives to aid businesses owned by minorities and women, said CNN.

'Laser-focused' on immigrant agenda
Miller is the "architect" of Trump's anti-immigration agenda, said Andrew Prokop at Vox. His goal is to "rid" the U.S. of unauthorized immigrants and "cut down on legal immigrants, too." While other MAGA officials have sometimes been cast from Trump's orbit, Miller has kept the president-elect's trust by staying "laser-focused on implementing Trump's anti-immigrant agenda."

Miller is "100% loyal 100% of the time" to Trump, said Jean Guerrero at The Washington Post. He's also comfortable in Trump's shadow, never seeking to upstage the boss. Miller cannot be understood, he once told an interviewer, "if you do not understand that my sole motivation is to serve this president and this country."

All-inclusive vacation packages that offer dining, butler services and unlimited drinks for a fixed price are traditionally found in the Caribbean and Mexico. But big U.S. hotel chains are now racing to capitalize on a surge of interest in all-inclusive vacations by launching luxury resorts across Europe. 

The "cost of living crisis and currency fluctuations" have "pushed up the popularity" of these breaks in recent years, said The Times. Hotels.com has named it as one of its major trends for next year. 

What are hotel chains doing?
Hyatt began its European venture last month, opening Dreams Madeira, a 366-room resort on the Portuguese island. A 24-hour room and concierge service is included in the price, as well as premium spirits and à la carte restaurants. And this is just the beginning. The group is set to join with Grupo Piñero, a Spanish tourism company, to add 23 all-inclusive resorts to Hyatt's profile. Marriott, which currently has one luxury all-inclusive resort in the Dominican Republic, is also venturing into Europe, seeking a site in Turkey to add to its portfolio. 

Why now?
The package holiday has "definitely reinvented itself" from its associations with spring breakers and cheap booze, Ana Ivanovic, the executive vice president at property group JLL, said to the Financial Times. The move is being "pushed by families who want everything taken care of," and Europe is an untapped market. As vacationers become increasingly keen on package deals, the big brands will continue to "grow and expand" upscale sites across the continent.
