The cast of characters surrounding Donald Trump has changed frequently over the years. One person who has remained at the president-elect's side throughout: Stephen Miller, 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 is expected to focus on "writing and implementing Trump's immigration agenda," setting the stage for the mass deportation of millions of undocumented migrants. That makes him "likely to be one of the most controversial picks" in the new administration, but the post does not require Senate confirmation.
