Remigration: How A European Ethnic Cleansing Proposal Devised by White Supremacists Became Official Trump Policy

GPAHE: “Remigration,” a concept rooted in neo-Nazi ideology and tied to the racist Great Replacement conspiracy theory, is no longer confined to the far-right fringe. The idea reframes ethnic cleansing as policy, promoting the forced expulsion of non-white people from Western countries. Once driven primarily by European extremists such as Austria’s Martin Sellner, the concept is now reflected in U.S. politics as Trump’s rhetoric increasingly mirrors its themes, calling for mass expulsions and framing national identity in racial terms. This dangerous idea is being put into practice through escalating immigration enforcement actions, including aggressive ICE operations and detention practices, that have already produced abuse, violence and death. Reports of State Department interest in a remigration office, and a DHS post invoking “remigrate,” illustrate how an idea devised by white supremacists is now being embraced by the Trump administration.
