NPR: What’s behind the Trump administration’s immigration memes?
Jude Joffe-Block and Shannon Bond for NPR report that “[w]hite supremacist tropes and ironic viral jokes posted on official government social media accounts illustrate the Trump administration’s project of redefining who belongs in the United States.
“The White House’s X account, as well as that of the Department of Homeland Security, have for months been posting a steady stream of content celebrating the administration, especially its aggressive immigration crackdown, often framed as ironic comedy. The posts illustrate the Trump administration’s project of redefining who belongs in the United States, and promote its policies.”
