White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller says the Trump administration is pursuing a policy to debank illegal immigrants by tightening banking access to spur self-deportation, following an executive order directing banks and regulators to scrutinize accounts and credit applications tied to unauthorized workers; federal guidance has urged lenders to consider immigration status in lending decisions.
Stephen Miller says the Trump administration is pursuing a plan to debank illegal immigrants by limiting their access to banking and credit, arguing that cutting them off from financial systems would drive self-deportation.

White House adviser Stephen Miller told a state department–hosted international summit that left-wing extremism is a 'fatal cancer to civilisation' and warned it has been a blind spot in counterterrorism. The administration says left-wing violence has risen in the US since 2016 and has framed left-wing groups as anti-American or anarchist in its domestic strategy, while critics warn the focus could erode civil liberties and enable political targeting. Rubio called left-wing terrorism a 'distinctive and unique evil'; the administration has designated European left-wing groups as foreign terrorist organisations, and CSIS analyses show left-wing violence rising but still less lethal than right-wing or jihadi violence. Democrats and the ACLU have pressed for data and cautioned about potential abuses of domestic counterterrorism powers.
Katie Miller, Stephen Miller’s wife, lashed out on X after CNN producer DJ Judd posted photos of Krazy Glue on the Resolute Desk—a detail that threads through reports in Regime Change about Trump’s gilded Oval Office renovations and his gold fixation; the piece also notes Miller’s anger at immigration agencies and other luxe White House upgrades associated with the Trump era.

The remarks sparked a mix of online reactions, some mockingly celebratory and others critical of fear-mongering.
Trump’s nomination of Lance Schroyer to run ICE blindsided DHS insiders and has sparked an ICE revolt, with agents warning of mass retirements as Miller and Homan appear sidelined and Mullin asserts control over immigration policy.
Unnamed sources say White House adviser Stephen Miller pushed a June DOJ memo that would let states prioritize institutionalization over community-based disability care, arguing it could reduce homelessness; the memo followed friction with the Civil Rights Division over settlements moving people with mental illness out of institutions. White House and DOJ deny Miller’s involvement, maintaining the memo was independently developed by the Office of Legal Counsel, while critics warn it threatens longstanding disability-rights protections despite mixed evidence on homelessness.
A New York Times report describes White House alarm over proposals by Vice President JD Vance and adviser Stephen Miller to use the Insurrection Act and suspend habeas corpus to quell anti-ICE protests in Minnesota, prompting legal and political pushback and concerns about public relations.
Leaked memos reveal a White House push to suspend habeas corpus for migrants championed by Stephen Miller and JD Vance, warned against by Will Scharf as legally risky; the plan never advanced, but the administration pursued other hardline immigration measures, including ICE detentions and denying bond hearings, contributing to a near-10,000% rise in habeas petitions and sparking internal White House alarm as reporters chronicled the clash.
A pundit roundup argues Trump’s negotiating record remains weak, with Iran talks faltering and self-defence strikes complicating the narrative, while Stephen Miller’s hardline approach shapes U.S. foreign policy.

A Virginia prosecutor will not charge Arlington activist Barbara Wien with state crimes for distributing flyers containing Stephen Miller’s home address during protests, finding no probable cause under Virginia’s law against using someone’s identity or address to coerce or harass and noting the flyer did not call for action at Miller’s residence. The decision, in a 166-page filing, says Wien’s actions are protected political speech. Wien remains under federal investigation with no charges yet, and prosecutors have sought to limit data sharing and destruction of records connected to the case.
