Various people in / around the admin have said so more or less explicitly at various times. They don't say out always out loud very clearly, because it'd shock too many / present legal issues.

I mean Michael Anton in his WaPo piece pretty much says as much. He was part of the admin, until what, two months ago?

This analysis assumes they are pursuing conventional policy aims. But they’re not. The human pustule at the top only wants authoritarian power; policies that stoke racial resentments and selectively persecute dark-skinned immigrants are a means to that end, not an end in itself.

I think it's both. Trump has a long history of racist actions, that at the time weren't just playing into his autocratic desires. And the Sessions, Miller, Kelly wing has worked on restricting immigration for a long time. Obviously there's *also* the power politics you mention.
