Miller, a controversial figure known for his hardline immigration views, influenced Trump’s “zero-tolerance” separation of immigrant children from their parents.

Observers will be on watch to see if Miller’s return signals a return to Trump’s campaign-trail nationalism and its potential implications for the country’s social and political landscape.
