Stephen Miller holds secret calls with diplomats every day in order to push the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration agenda across the globe, according to a new report.

In the meetings, which reportedly occur around 10 a.m., the White House homeland security adviser grills officials on visa and immigration issues, as well as pushing for negotiations with third countries to accept deportees from the U.S. who cannot be returned to their country of origin.

Miller has also lobbied for the revocation of individual visas for critics of Israel or MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk, according to sources cited by The Guardian. The calls, reportedly dubbed the “Stephen Miller call,” is part of a broader strategy by the Trump administration to install “trusted people in the key positions,” in order to turn the state department into “an anti-immigration machine.”

“It is certainly true in the Trump administration that migration issues have become a key pillar of our foreign policy, and this may be here to stay for the rest of the century,” a senior state department official told The Guardian.
