Trump’s Office of Remigration Sparks Fears of Far-Right Ethnic Purge

A new State Department proposal to deport immigrants and “non-assimilated” citizens draws from extremist European ideologies, alarming advocates and communities.

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration’s recent proposal to establish an Office of Remigration within the State Department has sent shockwaves through immigrant communities and advocates alike, raising alarms about the normalization of a far-right ideology that seeks to expel migrants and minorities from Western nations.

As reported by WIRED on May 29, this move signals a bold step toward implementing “remigration,” a policy rooted in extremist European circles that aims to create racially homogeneous societies by removing immigrants—legal or not—and even citizens deemed “non-assimilated.”
