Latinx Immigrant Detention, Deportation, and the Carceral State
Tue, August 11, 12:00 to 1:30pm, TBASession Submission Type: Paper Session (90 minute)
Description
This session seeks research that critically examines how immigration enforcement, detention, and deportation shape the lives of Latinx communities within the broader framework of the U.S. carceral state. We invite papers that explore the intersections of immigration control, racialized policing, surveillance, and labor exploitation, as well as how these systems produce distinct social, emotional, and political consequences. We are also interested in the ongoing challenges of immigrant criminalization along with implications for understanding family separation, post-deportation experiences, and community-based forms of resistance and advocacy.
