The Trump Admin Reportedly Wants An Office of Remigration. That's Alarming.

It's a term popularized by far-right activists in Europe and white nationalists who want to remove all immigrants, regardless of citizenship status.
A sweeping plan to revamp the State Department would establish an Office of Remigration, a term popularized by far-right activists in Europe and white nationalists who want the mass removal of immigrants.
The proposed new office was included in a 100-page-long notice to Congress from the State Department, which has been viewed by publications including CNN, Wired and The Handbasket.
That document reportedly describes the Office of Remigration as a “hub for immigration issues and repatriation tracking” aimed at facilitating “interagency coordination” on “removals/repatriations.” It also reportedly details using State Department funds to help advance “the voluntary return of migrants to their country of origin or legal status.”
The term “remigration” is an alarming one that’s effectively “a euphemism for ethnically cleansing non-white people from Western countries,” Christopher Mathias previously wrote for HuffPost.
“Remigration is an immigration policy embraced by extremists that calls for the removal of all migrants—including ‘non-assimilated’ citizens—with the goal of creating white ethnostates in Western countries,” Wired’s David Gilbert explains.
