Trump’s “Remigration” Plan is White Nationalist Ethnic Cleansing in America
The sweeping immigration raids, opening of a "Remigration" office, and broader online propaganda point to an intentional effort to ethnically cleanse the United States of non-white people.
President Trump’s latest anti-immigrant offensive has crossed from hardline policy into openly white nationalist territory. Under the guidance of Stephen Miller, the administration is normalizing extremist ideas once confined to extremist neo-Nazi circles. Recently, the State Department began establishing an official “Office of Remigration,” a term lifted straight from far-right ethnic purity doctrine. Trump’s agenda is not just about enforcing immigration law. It is about engineering America’s demographics, removing those deemed “unassimilated,” and effectively whitening the nation by force. The ultimate goal of “remigration” is purely about ethnic cleansing. In other words, Trump and Miller have embarked on a project indistinguishable from the ethno-nationalist visions of white supremacists, a project that must be recognized and condemned for what it is.
Nothing illustrates this disturbing trend better than the State Department’s plan to create an Office of Remigration. In late May, Secretary of State Marco Rubio quietly notified Congress of a major departmental overhaul. As reported by Marisa Kabas, buried in the 136-page plan was the proposal for this new “Office of Remigration” within the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration. The very name should immediately raise alarms: remigration is explicitly a far-right euphemism, a buzzword popular in European neo-Nazi and ultranationalist circles for the mass expulsion of immigrants. The concept was pioneered by Austrian extremist Martin Sellner, an Identitarian leader and former neo-Nazi, who outlined “remigration” as a series of policies to purge countries of non-white migrants and make them "European again”. In plain terms, it calls for forcibly removing all immigrants, even the children or grandchildren of immigrants – to establish a white ethnostate. This fringe notion has now been imported directly into U.S. government policy.
Trump’s State Department wants the "Remigration" Office to coordinate with agencies like DHS on “removals/repatriations”, advancing the president’s immigration agenda of mass expulsion. Trump himself has openly embraced the term. “We will…return…illegal migrants to their home countries (also known as remigration),” vowing to “end the migrant invasion of America”. Stephen Miller enthusiastically echoed the rallying cry: “THE TRUMP PLAN TO END THE INVASION OF SMALL TOWN AMERICA… REMIGRATION!” Miller posted on Twitter. It is astonishing and chilling to see a white supremacist catchphrase like “remigration” move from the fever swamps of neo-Nazi groups into official U.S. policy. The Trump administration is effectively normalizing a concept that calls for expelling non-white people en masse, a goal that aligns neatly with neo-Nazi fantasies.
This white nationalist vision is not confined to bureaucratic jargon, it is being brutally implemented on the ground. In recent weeks, the White House has unleashed sweeping Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in a campaign clearly designed to terrorize immigrant communities and drive them out. Stephen Miller reportedly scolded ICE leadership in late May for not deporting people fast enough and demanded agents “step it up,” targeting not just gang members or violent criminals but day laborers and ordinary undocumented workers. The message was unmistakable: no immigrant is safe from removal, no matter how deep their roots in the community.
Following on these orders from Miller, ICE conducted a high-profile vicious raid on a Home Depot parking lot in Paramount, a heavily Latino neighborhood of Los Angeles, rounding up workers in broad daylight. This show of extreme force, essentially a public dragnet, sparked outrage and days of street protests in L.A. against Trump’s deportation tactics. Rather than heed the public’s alarm, Trump doubled down: he deployed 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to the city to suppress the demonstrations, an extraordinary militarization of immigration enforcement on U.S. soil. Similar scenes are playing out across the country. From factory sweeps in the Midwest to workplace stings in the South, these raids amount to a concerted purge of immigrant populations, the realization of Trump’s promise to remove “millions” and a core component of Miller’s demographic engineering strategy.
It is crucial to note that this crusade does not stop at undocumented immigrants with criminal records. it casts a far wider net. The very ideology of “remigration” targets even legal residents or citizens who are deemed not to belong. Sellner’s white nationalist blueprint explicitly talks of expelling “non-assimilated citizens,” a chilling category that implies anyone who isn't white could be removed, even if they have citizenship. We see this in Trump’s unconstitutional attempts to undermine birthright citizenship, the constitutional guarantee that anyone born on U.S. soil is a citizen. On his first day back in office this year, Trump signed an executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship, effectively trying to deny American-born children of immigrants their citizenship. As a result of their broad dragnet, federal authorities have also detained naturalized citizens and those with valid status, proving that even having papers may not shield someone in this climate. The line between “illegal” and “legal” immigrant is being deliberately blurred; all are targets if they fit the profile of those Trump and Miller want gone. This is what separates an ethnic cleansing campaign from ordinary immigration enforcement: the goal is not law and order, it’s racial purging.
“America Is Full”: Far-Right Fury Goes Mainstream
While Trump’s agencies carry out the deportation blitz, his allies and propagandists are justifying it in blatantly racist terms. In early June, a chorus of high-profile MAGA media influencers suddenly began blasting an identical message across social networks: America is full, no more immigrants. Daily Wire Contributor Matt Walsh tweeted, “Ban all third world immigration. Legal or illegal… We’ve reached our capacity. We cannot be the world’s soup kitchen anymore.” Almost immediately, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk parroted the same talking points, writing, “It’s time to ban third world immigration, legal or illegal. We’ve reached our limit” and calling for a “net-zero immigration moratorium” on all “third-worlders”. Not to be outdone, far-right pizzagate conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec copy-pasted Kirk’s post word-for-word onto his own feed soon after. The coordination was obvious. In unison, these propagandists were abandoning the old dog whistles about “legal vs. illegal” immigration and openly declaring that people from “Third World” countries (overwhelmingly non-white nations) should be categorically barred from the United States.
This sudden mainstreaming of white nationalist rhetoric did not go unnoticed by neo-Nazis and white supremacists. Nick Fuentes, a notorious white supremacist organizer, triumphantly proclaimed that “the groypers have won,” meaning the openly racist wing of the MAGA movement had successfully dragged the conservative mainstream toward their position. “I’ve never seen the right wing so angry and so explicitly against mass migration, so close to expressing their disdain in racial terms,” Fuentes said as he celebrated that personalities like Kirk and Walsh were now embracing his racist immigration views openly. Kirk in his rant even shared a chart from a white nationalist group to lament the declining white population of Los Angeles, explicitly referring to it as “the Great Replacement Theory,” a well-known white supremacist conspiracy theory claiming white Americans are being “replaced” by non-white immigrants.
When mainstream conservatives are literally citing hate-group propaganda and echoing neo-Nazi slogans like the European far-right chant “Save our nation, remigration," it’s clear that the line between GOP talking points and white supremacist ideology has effectively vanished. The White House and its media cheerleaders are singing from the same extremist tune, reinforcing the idea that non-white immigrants are an existential threat to America and must be kept out or kicked out to “save” the nation. Not since Birth of the Nation was screened in the Woodrow Wilson White House has such blatant white supremacist propaganda emanated from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
An Openly White Supremacist Project to Whiten America
Taken together, these developments paint a disturbing picture: the Trump-Miller immigration agenda is openly a white supremacist project to remake America’s demographics. The administration’s own documents and actions reveal that the goal is not simply enforcing immigration laws or protecting national security, it is to systematically remove people of color under the guise of “remigration” and “repatriation.” By co-opting the neo-Nazi remigration concept, Trump has provided an official imprimatur to what is essentially a policy of ethnic cleansing. The term might seem extreme, but it is precisely what is happening.The strategy targets immigrants broadly, not only the undocumented but also refugees, asylum seekers, and even naturalized or U.S.-born citizens of immigrant origin, thereby attempting to reverse decades of demographic change. It is the weaponization of the “Great Replacement” conspiracy theories that served as mirror propaganda voiced by white nationalists: instead of panicking about more brown and Black people in America, Trump’s movement is moving to forcibly decrease their numbers. All of this is being done with the pretense of "protecting" the country.
What is unfolding in the United States is a campaign to decisively, coercively reshape the ethnic composition of the country to, in effect, “restore” a white majority by subtracting immigrants and refugees. It’s a project championed by Stephen Miller and eagerly enabled by Trump. It’s being cheered on by the alt-right fringe which now finds its ideas at the heart of federal policy. And it’s being sold to the public with fear-mongering narratives of “invasion” and “insurrection” that portray immigrant families as if they were enemy combatants. This was always the inevitable end of the xenophobic immigration panic. It was never about assimilation, crime, or whatever pretense they offered. It was always about racially "purifying" the United States into a white nation.
Everyone must call this what it is, a state-sanctioned ethnic cleansing campaign. Such an agenda betrays the fundamental ideals of a diverse liberal democracy and hearkens back to the darkest chapters of American history. It is a cruel project of fear and bigotry, one that seeks to erase the very idea of America as a melting pot and replace it with a grim vision of ethno-nationalist purity. The Trump-Miller plan to forcibly whiten America cannot be sugar-coated as mere immigration policy. It is a white supremacist assault on the fabric of the nation, and it must be confronted as the dangerous, intolerable outrage that it requires. If we ignore what is happening, we will pass seemlessly into a world of mass atrocities where the seeds for genocide have already been sowed.
