Stephen Miller, White House Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor, is playing a leading role in directing the ongoing strike campaign by the U.S. Air Force and Navy against suspected narco-cartel boats off the coast of Venezuela, with his role at times superseded that of Secretary of State and National Security Advisor, Marco Rubio, according to The Guardian.

The strikes against boats allegedly carrying narcotics for drug cartels based in Venezuela, which the administration has claimed were necessary because interdiction did not work, have been orchestrated through the White House’s Homeland Security Council (HSC), led by Miller as the Homeland Security Adviser. The HSC, under the direction of Miller, has become its own influential entity in President Donald J. Trump’s second term, a notable departure from previous administrations where it was considered part of the National Security Council (NSC) and ultimately reported to the National Security Advisor (NSA).
