Wes Moore Seeks Immigration Deals With Stephen Miller Despite Deep Distrust

Summary
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said he sees a “window” to strike bipartisan deals with White House chief of staff Stephen Miller, including steps to ease the targeting of unauthorized immigrants.
Moore paired that opening with a sharp denunciation, calling Miller the architect of racist, xenophobic and homophobic policies and saying his agenda created a “deeply poisonous” well of distrust.
At the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s B20 Summit, Moore framed the approach as pragmatic rather than conciliatory, saying he would “work with anybody” while refusing to “bow to nobody.”
The comments also place Moore — widely viewed as a potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender — in a lane that mixes confrontation with negotiation on one of Washington’s most divisive issues.
