Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff for policy and President Donald Trump’s Homeland Security Advisor, just won’t get off the phone, according to a new report.

The Wall Street Journal reported Friday night that Trump 2.0 has Miller’s fingerprints all over it, with Miller “emerg[ing] as a singular figure in the second Trump administration, wielding more power than almost any other White House staffer in recent memory—and eager to circumvent legal limitations on his agenda.”

Miller has drafted or edited each of Trump’s signed executive orders, according to the report, giving him considerable influence over Trump’s second term. This comes after the president refused to give him a leading role at the Department of Homeland Security, reportedly telling aides he didn’t see Miller as leadership material, according to the report.

Also of note — Miller appears to be getting under the skin of GOP aides on Capitol Hill who say they can’t get him off the phone.

The school newspaper of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth‘s alma mater published a report on Saturday suggesting that Hegseth plagiarized elements of his senior thesis.

The report from The Daily Princetonian alleges that Hegseth’s senior thesis, submitted in 2003, contained eight instances of “uncredited material, sham paraphrasing, and verbatim copying,” according to a review conducted by three plagiarism experts.

…

While the experts consulted found that the instances of plagiarism in Hegseth’s thesis violated Princeton’s academic honesty regulations, their opinions on whether the violations were serious enough to matter differed.

Daily Beast: Trump DOJ Flips Off SCOTUS in Brazen Update on Deported Dad

A senior department official stated that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was detained under the sovereign authority of El Salvador.

The Trump administration is continuing to seemingly do everything it can to avoid securing the safe return of 29-year-old Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was wrongly deported to El Salvador last month due to an “administrative error”.

After declining to provide any information on how it would facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return to the U.S. on Friday, senior State Department official Michael G. Kozak signed a declaration on Saturday swearing that while Abrego Garcia was “alive and secure” in the Terrorism Confinement Center in El Salvador, he is also “detained pursuant to the sovereign, domestic authority of El Salvador.”

In addition, President Donald Trump posted a message to his Truth Social late Saturday that appears to confirm the U.S. is essentially wiping its hands of anyone deported to El Salvador. He wrote, “These barbarians are now in the sole custody of El Salvador, a proud and sovereign Nation, and their future is up to President B and his Government.”
