Rep. Elijah E. Cummings requested that Miller appear before the Oversight Committee on May 1 while acknowledging that White House aides typically do not testify.
By Rachael Bade Rachael Bade Congressional reporter Email Bio Follow April 17 at 6:46 PM The chairman of the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday asked White House senior adviser Stephen Miller to testify before the committee next month about Trump administration policies on immigration.
Homeland Security officials told The Washington Post that Miller was behind the White House plan to bus undocumented migrants to the districts of political adversaries and other Democrats who represented “sanctuary cities.” Miller has also been reported to have great influence over the White House’s hard-line immigration policy positions.
“I am inviting you to testify before the committee because it appears that you are one of the primary moving forces behind some of the most significant — and in my view, troubling — immigration policies coming out of the Trump White House,” Cummings wrote.
