The second Remigration Summit is taking place on Saturday. This isn’t a fringe event. It’s a global gathering of far-right ideologues, activists, influencers & politicians who are given a platform to call for mass deportations.

This past weekend was the Remigration Summit, a far-right conference that calls to deport migrants to solve the Great Replacement. Their 3 rules to make ‘remigration’ mainstream: 1. Repeat the term for visibility 2. Provoke a sense of public outrage 3. Use humor & memes to communicate
