New from GPAHE: Deus Vult: Pete Hegseth’s Christian Nationalist Crusade to Remake the U.S. Military

Pete Hegseth’s term at the Pentagon marks an unprecedented effort to reshape the U.S. military along explicitly Christian nationalist lines. From expanding “optional” Christian worship services to defense contractors, to launching reviews aimed at removing women from combat roles, Hegseth is imposing a theological worldview into military policy. Rooted in crusader rhetoric, dominionist ideology, and networks tied to the Christian nationalist CREC movement, the shift has alarmed service members across faiths, including Christians, who see constitutional guardrails and unit cohesion giving way to religious authoritarianism. With complaints mounting and the agenda aligning closely with Project 2025’s vision for state power, the Pentagon is emerging as a proving ground for an ideology that fuses faith, force, and authoritarian rule.

New from GPAHE: What Is “Remigration”?

A new facts and figures piece documents how “remigration”—an explicitly white supremacist policy framework tied to the Great Replacement conspiracy—has been dangerously embraced by European extremist circles and U.S. government rhetoric and policy planning.

The findings trace this shift through specific actors, language adoption by federal agencies, and enforcement practices including state violence, ICE raids, detentions, and deportations carried out with little regard for human rights. Reports of State Department interest in a remigration office, and a DHS communications invoking “remigrate,” illustrate how this idea is now being embraced by the Trump administration.

New from GPAHE: How “Remigration” Traveled from European Neo-Nazis to the White House

“Remigration” emerged as a fringe neo-Nazi concept in Europe and has evolved into an enforced policy framework within the U.S. government. Rooted in Identitarian ideology and the “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory, the timeline follows its spread through networks such as Generation Identity and figures like Austrian white nationalist activist Martin Sellner. It documents key moments including the public embrace of remigration by AfD leader Alice Weidel; and Donald Trump’s and JD Vance’s use during this administration.The progression from extremist manifestos and secret meetings to U.S. campaign rhetoric, DHS messaging, and proposed federal offices illustrates how white supremacist ideology is normalized into state policy, with escalating harm to our democracy.

CNN: The US government seems to have a clear message for White nationalists

Federal immigration agencies are increasingly creating social media posts and images that reflect ideas long promoted by neo-Nazi and white nationalist movements. From ICE recruitment ads to the formal adoption of “remigration” ideology, the messaging has been embraced and amplified by far-right networks, raising concerns that extremist worldviews are being legitimized inside U.S. national policy. Wendy Via, co-founder of GPAHE, warned that these developments reflect a dangerous pattern. “People who care are able to see the pattern. It’s not a one-off. It is a concerted effort to create these types of recruitment ads,” Via said. She also emphasized that is important to track how these ideas spread not only across the U.S., but also across other countries.“It has become normalized, it’s commonplace, and it is a plan for ethnic cleansing,” she said.
