The Migration Assistant app cannot be removed. It is installed as part of the Mac's operating system. If it automatically opens when you start up your Mac it is because it is set to do do. You can change startup apps by opening System Preferences. Next, click on the General link on the left side.That opens a window where apps are able to be deselected.
