Overview
- An investigation describes a 10 a.m. daily “Stephen Miller call” where the White House homeland security adviser coordinates immigration measures with a small group of diplomats.
- Sources say the calls press officials to secure third‑country agreements for deportations and to pursue individual visa revocations, including targeting critics of Israel or at the urging of Charlie Kirk.
- Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau is named as a participant and enforcer on visa matters, with reporting noting he has publicized targets on X under the tagline “El Quitavisas.”
- Outcomes attributed to the approach include thousands of visa cancellations, immigrant bans affecting 19 countries, a 7,500 refugee cap for next year, and tens of thousands of deportations, according to The Guardian’s reporting.
- The White House characterizes the coordination as routine staff work to implement the president’s agenda, while a senior State Department official testified Miller spoke to him at least a dozen times about Gaza protester deportations.
