White nationalists in multiple countries, including Canada, are pushing for mass deportations of non-Europeans to be part of the political platforms of their right-wing parties. Against the backdrop of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement Department snatching people off American streets and shipping them off to South American and African prisons, a new word has begun to enter the lexicon of Americans and Canadians alike: remigration. “Our Federal Government will continue to be focused on the REMIGRATION of Aliens to the places from where they came, and preventing the admission of ANYONE who undermines the domestic tranquility of the United States,” Trump posted to his social media platform Truth Social in June. According to reports, Trump wants to create an official “Office of Remigration” to carry out his policy of mass deportation. Data shows that most people arrested in ICE raids don’t have criminal records, despite Trump saying they are simply removing criminals from the country. Some of the people they are deporting are American-born children who are US citizens. In Canada, masked groups of white nationalists have held public demonstrations with “mass deportations now” and “remigration saves our nation” banners. Daniel Tyrie, the former People’s Party of Canada executive director, and “founder and chairman” of the registered non-profit Dominion Society of Canada, is trying a more professionalized and political approach. In a livestream with DSC co-founder Greg Wycliffe, Tyrie says it’s their “main mission to normalize” the concept of remigration. His goal is to make Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre say the word “remigration” by the end of the year. According to multiple experts, remigration is a form of ethnic cleansing targeting people of non-European descent. In an email to the Canadian Anti-Hate Network Tyrie wrote, “The Dominion Society of Canada does not advocate for remigration based on ethnicity. Our remigration plan prioritizes the return of illegal immigrants, criminals, individuals on expiring visas, temporary foreign workers, and permanent residents without full citizenship.” He adds, “we explicitly reject any association with ethnic cleansing.”
