As its immigration crackdown in Minneapolis intensifies, the Trump administration is leaning into messaging that borrows from phrases, images and music about national identity that have become popular among right-wing groups.
...The administration says it’s tired of criticism that its messaging is framed around white supremacy or Nazi slogans.
“It seems that the mainstream media has become a meme of their own: The deranged leftist who claims everything they dislike must be Nazi propaganda,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said. “This line of attack is boring and tired. Get a grip."
César Cuauhtémoc García Hernández, a law professor at Ohio State University, said the administration’s references are a choice.
“You don’t have to dip into white supremacist sloganeering to promote immigration regulation,” he said, noting that former President Bill Clinton signed two bills toughening penalties on immigrants who were in the country illegally in the 1990s without doing so.
He added that the administration seems to calibrate its references.
“The imagery is not simply a reproduction of common white supremacist imagery or text, but a play on that imagery — and that gives them the breathing room they want,” Garcia Hernández said.
Still, Trump for years has created enthusiasm among white supremacist groups, who see his nationalist and anti-immigrant stance as validating their own.
Hannah Gais, a senior researcher with the SPLC, has long tracked white supremacist groups and said she thinks the administration knows what it’s doing with its messaging slogans.
“They know their base is this overly online right-winger who they know will go nuts if they say ‘Which Way, Western Man?’” Gais said. “I don’t think it’s a tenable strategy for the long term because the stuff is incomprehensible to most people. And if it is comprehensible, people don’t like it.”

AP "news" amid Minnesota immigration tensions seen as appealing to violent leftist radicals (as usual)...
As far as the Democrats are concerned everyone who posts here are Nazis.
When they next gain power there can be no doubt what they will do to alleged “Nazis”:

Virtue signaling is not going to save anyone.
Ex NYT op ed columnist Charles Blow repeated the “ICE recruiting is using white supremacist symbols” narrative on CNN just the other day. When challenged he came up with an image of George Washington. It’s clear that the left is desperate to protect their illegal alien voter base. First chance they get they’ll impose amnesty.
The choices are simple:
1. A safe, orderly, law abiding society where criminals are not tolerated and the society operates for the benefit of citizens.
2. A violent, crime-ridden society with complete disdain for law and order, one that favors criminals over ordinary people and people aren’t safe anywhere.
Why should that be called “white supremacist”?
“the Trump administration is leaning into messaging that borrows from phrases, images and music about national identity that have become popular among right-wing groups.”
Wow, he says that like it’s a bad thing. This is what I voted for. They can take their nose pierced blue haired transgendered feminized pronoun woke ideology and shove it. I have zero sympathy.
The left knows the answer to your question.
Lol.
GTFO CesarCuahemocGarciaHernandez
and take Aholes NicholasRiccardi and HannahGais with you !!
Ass Press = Don’t waste your time.
The AP is absolutely incapable of presenting a news story without adding a leftist slant.
They really ought to change their name to the Associated Propaganda.
Because.
Shut up.
white supremacist groups,
Who are these groups?
You. You are a “group” of one.
Man, talk about garbage. It gets old rehashing the same old lies. The medias are now only garbage propaganda. shun them they have become an enemy to citizens who voted for Trump. They just make up any crap they want. shameful
SPLC is a con, created and organized by a con artist.
They don’t track hate groups, they simply take donations for pretending to track hate groups, then spend it on themselves.
I’m with you on this one.
AP = All Propaganda
Why not view the Associated Press in the same lens as the Daily Worker? Why post their trash?
