As part of a sweeping reorganization of the State Department, the Trump administration is creating an Office of Remigration. 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. The details of the plan are contained in a 136-page notification document sent by the State Department to six Congressional commitees—including the House Foreign Affair
