Right-wing media figures are applauding President Donald Trump and his administration for their apparent support of “remigration,” a far-right immigration policy associated with forced migration, mass deportations, and ethnic cleansing. These figures said remigration and “reverse migration” are “critical,” “necessary,” and “what we need.”
The administration’s support for remigration was also celebrated by prominent white nationalist media figures, who declared that “Trump promises us the best immigration policy possible: NO NON-WHITES.”
The Trump administration is seemingly embracing “remigration,” a policy associated with ethnic cleansing and mass deportations that has been pushed by the far right
- Following the November 26 shooting of two National Guard members near the White House by an Afghan national who entered the U.S. under a resettlement program, Trump said “only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation” and vowed to “permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries.”Reuters reported that “the comments mark a further escalation of migration measures Trump has ordered since the shooting on Wednesday that investigators say was carried out by an Afghan national who entered the U.S. in 2021 under a resettlement program.” The following day, the Department of Homeland Security echoed Trump’s post, writing “Remigration now.” Reuters, [11/28/25; NBC News, 11/28/25; Twitter/X, 11/28/25]
- “Remigration” is a far-right policy associated with forced migration and ethnic cleansing “with the goal of creating white ethnostates in Western countries.”It has become a signature issue among far-right activists and political parties in Europe and the term was popularized by far-right Austrian anti-immigration activist Martin Sellner, who, according to a profile in The Washington Post, “argues that each race would be happier in its own geographic corner.” Anti-migrant extremists spread the term alongside their attempts to mainstream the racist “great replacement” conspiracy theory, which holds that political elites are secretly plotting to bring millions of people from poor, nonwhite countries to the United States and Western Europe.

- Mainstream media outlets have largely failed in the last year to put Trump’s planned “remigration” policies into appropriate context.When Trump called for “remigration” on the 2024 campaign trail, Media Matters found that major outlets failed to contextualize the proposal as a form of ethnic cleansing, and earlier this year, mainstream media almost entirely ignored news that the Trump administration is reportedly reorganizing the State Department to include a new “Office of Remigration.” Media Matters, [6/13/25, 10/1/24]
- Prominent white nationalist media figures praised Trump’s support for “reverse migration,” celebrating that “Trump promises us the best immigration policy possible: NO NON-WHITES” and saying his Truth Social post “had everything that we'd been wanting to hear for a long time.” White nationalist streamer Nick Fuentes, who has advocated against immigrants for years, said of Trump’s post: “This is a great post. Remigration, pausing Third World migration permanently. … It had everything that we'd been wanting to hear for a long time.” Jared Taylor, publisher of the white nationalist online magazine American Renaissance, wrote: “Donald Trump promises us the best immigration policy possible: NO NON-WHITES. He says he will also boot all foreigners who are incompatible with Wesern Civilization, and that ‘REVERSE MIGRATION’ is the only cure. Bravo! I didn't think he had it in him. Now, action, please.” Media Matters, [12/4/25; Rumble, America First, 12/1/25; The New Yorker, 11/18/25; Twitter/X, 11/28/25; Southern Poverty Law Center, accessed 12/2/25]
- ### Right-wing media praised Trump and backed “remigration” and “reverse migration” as “necessary” and “based”
- Trump ally and podcaster Benny Johnson praised the president’s “tour-de-force post” and called for “net-zero immigration, negative immigration, and then remigration, which is critical.” Johnson, who has repeatedly been on ICE ride-alongs in recent months, said that he is “calling for a 1924 Immigration Act” because the “official United States foreign population stands at 53 million people,” adding, “We need a time of zero immigration, net-zero immigration, negative immigration, and then remigration, which is critical.” As noted by Smithsonian Magazine, the 1924 Johnson-Reed Act “marked the start of a dark chapter in the nation’s immigration history” and “drastically cut the total number of immigrants allowed in each year and effectively cut off all immigration from Asia.” YouTube, *The Benny Show,* [12/1/25; Smithsonian Magazine, 5/19/20; Media Matters, 11/20/25]
- Podcaster and Fox News contributor Brett Cooper argued that “remigration” is “necessary.”Cooper added that “through their toxic empathy, both the left and the right … have helped overrun our country with refugees and migrants that do not assimilate and, quite frankly, hate it here.” YouTube, *The Brett Cooper Show,* [11/29/25]
- Infowars host Alex Jones read Trump’s “reverse migration” post and said, “Bravo, absolutely, that is what we need.”Jones said that “reverse migration” is “the opposite of replacement migration,” seemingly in reference to the racist “great replacement” conspiracy theory. Infowars, *Alex Jones Show,* [11/28/25]
- Trump ally and Pentagon press corps member Laura Loomer shared DHS’ remigration post and wrote, “Just make it happen already. Let’s start with the Muslims too.” Twitter/X, [11/28/25; The New York Times, 12/2/25]
- Right-wing streamer Zack Hoyt, known online as Asmongold, read Trump’s “reverse migration” comments and declared that “this might be the most based post he's ever made. I am so happy about this, I really am.”After reading Trump’s demand for “reverse migration,” he added, “This is the kind of shit — like, if he actually does this, I'm going to be so happy.” The Atlantic profiled Hoyt and reported that he had “an average of more than 2.2 million people tuning in to Twitch at any given moment,” and quoted journalist Nathan Grayson’s new book Stream Big, arguing Hoyt is “comparable in reach to ‘mainstream television networks like CNN and Fox during prime-time slots and major events.’” YouTube, [11/28/25; The Atlantic, 4/25/25]
- OnThe Charlie Kirk Show, producer Andrew Kolvet said that “we do need remigration” and “an immigration moratorium.” Kolvet continued: “We need to get these people out. We need to make sure that their 15 children are not indoctrinated in the same ideologies and filling up our classrooms with this garbage.” Rumble, *The Charlie Kirk Show*, [12/1/25]
- Newsmax host Lidia Curanaj said that Trump is “concluding that reverse migration is now the only course of action” adding, “It’s about time.” Curanaj told the audience, “To all of you who say this is too extreme, how dare you, I say this to President Trump: Thank you. And it's about time.” Newsmax, *Carl Higbie Frontline*, [11/28/25]
