Overview

• The proposed Remigration Office would operate within the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration to centralize deportation tracking and support voluntary returns.
• A 136-page State Department document reviewed by Wired outlines the new office’s role in coordinating with DHS and other agencies on removal operations.
• Officials have set a daily arrest quota of 3,000 undocumented immigrants, aiming for more than 1 million deportations per year.
• State Department restructuring includes a 15 percent cut to domestic personnel and the dissolution of units managing Afghanistan resettlement programs.
• Critics warn the remigration concept echoes European right-wing extremist ideology and still falls short of Trump’s 15–20 million deportation pledge.
