Story summary

Hakeem Jeffries, the House Minority Leader and potential future Speaker of the House, declared on November 9, 2026, that he would refuse to work with Stephen Miller, who was just appointed as President Trump's new White House Chief of Staff. In an interview with ABC News’s Jonathan Karl, Jeffries called Miller a "dangerous xenophobe and reckless extremist" whose actions have contributed to human rights abuses, including the deaths of Americans like Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good. Jeffries emphasized that Democrats would not collaborate with someone who holds such extreme views and accused Miller of using taxpayer dollars to target immigrant families violently. This stance highlights the deepening ideological divide between Democrats and Republicans in Congress as control shifts towards Democrats next year.
