- The Trump administration is creating an Office of Remigration within the State Department, a policy aligned with extremist ideologies advocating for the removal of migrants and non-assimilated citizens to establish white ethnostates.
- A 136-page notification document outlines the office's role in immigration issues, repatriation tracking, and interagency coordination to advance the President’s immigration agenda, including voluntary returns of migrants.
- The reorganization includes eliminating parts of the Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor Bureau and adding a deputy assistant secretary for 'Democracy and Western Values.'
- Critics, including the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, argue that 'remigration' is a euphemism for ethnic cleansing and express concern over its normalization.
- Trump and his adviser Stephen Miller have publicly endorsed remigration, with policies mirroring those proposed by Martin Sellner, a far-right activist promoting a 30-year plan for remigration.
- Sellner's plan includes phases to stop migration, remove undocumented immigrants, and target non-assimilated citizens, rooted in the 'great replacement' conspiracy theory.
- Remigration has gained traction in Europe, with far-right groups and politicians endorsing it, including Austria's Freedom Party and Germany's Alternative for Germany (AfD).
- The first Remigration Summit in Milan featured far-right speakers, including Americans Jacky Eubanks and Cyan Quinn, who advocate for mass deportations and immigration moratoriums.
- Experts warn of increasing transnational collaboration between far-right groups in the US and Europe, with American extremists influencing global migration policies.
