Stephen Miller wants immigrants deported over paperwork errors. Then Public Citizen finds 10 of his own stock sales don’t match his official filings

Public Citizen recently identified ten instances where Stephen Miller submitted financial disclosures that do not match his official stock sale records. These discrepancies involve paperwork filed by Miller, who acts as a chief architect for the mass deportation efforts under President Donald Trump. The findings suggest that Miller may have filed inaccurate information regarding his own assets, which stands in contrast to the strict scrutiny the administration applies to the immigration paperwork of others.

The investigation released on Friday details several areas of concern. Public Citizen compared certificates of divestiture issued by the Office of Government Ethics with the official filings submitted by Miller. The group found that for ten of the 27 stock sales listed in an August 29, 2025 report, the reported proceeds appear too low to align with the number of shares sold at the prices those stocks held on August 14.

One notable example involves MP Materials. Miller reported a value range of $50,000 to $100,000 for 3,000 shares, even though those shares were worth at least $223,000 on that day. The Pentagon became the largest shareholder of that company just five weeks before the sale.

Other issues appear in the reporting of his family assets

The custodial accounts for Miller’s three children held a combined value of roughly $1.4 million on August 14, 2025. However, Miller’s annual report for the end of the year shows each account holding only $1,000 to $15,000 in cash, along with some Spotify shares in one account. The report lacks any explanation regarding where the rest of the funds went. Public Citizen also discovered that several holdings in his wife’s retirement account seemingly vanished without any corresponding sale reports.

According to the group, Miller’s March 2025 disclosure showed his wife held shares of Arm Holdings, Spotify, Alphabet, Viking Therapeutics, Apple, and Amazon. By the time he filed his annual report for 2025, those holdings were largely missing. The group noted that he listed no transaction reports for the sale of Alphabet, Viking Therapeutics, or Apple.

Public Citizen co-president Lisa Gilbert commented on the matter, stating, “Stephen Miller is neither above the law nor the rules, and conflict of interest standards are not optional.” She added, “This administration has demonstrated an objective to scrutinize alleged errors in other people’s paperwork, with very serious consequences. If that is the standard set by the White House, then the rules should apply equally to everyone. Stephen Miller included. The American people deserve an answer on why these inconsistencies are present, as well as corrections and consequences.”

The organization highlighted the irony of these findings because Miller has advocated for a project to strip citizenship from Americans based on misstatements in their immigration documents. Miller wrote in 2023 that this project would be turbocharged in 2025.

The Trump administration has also recently raided the home of US Rep. Ilhan Omar as part of an investigation into her father’s immigration paperwork. Vice President JD Vance said in March that he and Miller discussed ways to go after Omar, claiming she committed immigration fraud.

Public Citizen has provided its findings to the Office of Government Ethics. The group says it does not want federal agents to search Miller’s home. Instead, it wants the office to review the filings and require Miller to explain the discrepancies.
