Trump begins his second term, Stephen Miller, his longtime adviser and architect of immigration policy, has emerged as one of the most powerful figures in his administration.

This expanded role gives Miller greater influence over a wide range of policy areas, including immigration, which has been his primary focus since his early days as a politician.
Miller has worked hard to meet with movers and shakers who could contribute to the Trump administration. One of Miller's notable meetings was with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg at Mar-a-Lago in late 2024.

Therefore, Meta will no longer have a DEI team. Maxine Williams, the company's chief diversity officer, will begin a new role focused on accessibility and engagement, Gale told employees.

Mr. Zuckerberg spoke to former chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg about Facebook's commitment to inclusivity, which encourages employee self-expression in the workplace, one of the people familiar with the meeting said. denounced. He said the new guidelines and round of job cuts amounted to a reset, with more changes to come.
Earlier this month, Mr. Zuckerberg's political aides previewed the changes to Mr. Miller in a private conference. Then, on January 10th, Zuckerberg officially announced that Meta would be abolishing its DEI policy.
