U.S. Orders Embassies to Press Western Allies on ‘Mass Migration,’ Calling It an Existential Threat

The State Department is coupling new crime‑monitoring directives with an overhaul of its human rights report to scrutinize policies it says favor migrants over local communities.

Overview

  • State Department cables sent Friday instruct diplomats in Europe and other Western countries to advocate tougher migration controls and to report violent crimes and human rights abuses attributed to people with a migration background.
  • Guidance tells embassies to flag “two-tiered” justice, lenient sentencing for migrant offenders, displacement of locals from housing, and penalties for citizens who criticize mass migration.
  • Officials cited high‑profile cases as examples to highlight, including organized rape gangs in the UK and recent sexual assault cases in Sweden and Germany.
  • Principal deputy spokesman Tommy Pigott said the U.S. views mass migration as a human rights concern, asserted it has fueled crime and trafficking, and said Washington “stands ready” to assist allies.
  • The move aligns with a revamped annual human rights report focused on “natural rights,” adding tracking of free‑speech violations, support for gender changes for children, diversity and equity programs, abortion numbers, and policies enabling mass or illegal migration; Trump has also urged UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to act, drawing praise from figures such as Suella Braverman.
