Stephen Miller cut ties with childhood friend due to their ethnicity
- Jason Islas, a former high school friend of Stephen Miller, claimed Miller ended their friendship over two decades ago due to Islas's Hispanic heritage.
- Islas stated that Miller, who became a key architect of controversial anti-immigration policies, cut ties between eighth and ninth grade, citing Islas's Latin background.
- The end of their friendship in 1999 was also detailed in the biography, Hatemonger: Stephen Miller, Donald Trump, and the White Nationalist Agenda, quoting Islas on Miller's 'calm, cool, matter-of-fact' expression of hatred.
- Miller's early extremist views were evident in high school, where he allegedly told Spanish speakers to learn English or leave, and in a letter he wrote expressing contempt for Hispanic students in honors classes.
- Now a White House official, Miller is described as a trusted adviser to President Trump, with his influence and controversial views having developed through college and his career.
