Book excerpt: This book recounts an unique chapter in the National Guard's efforts to keep America's borders secure. Starting in June 2006 and lasting until July 2008, Operation Jump Start exhibited unprecedented cooperation and teamwork among federal agencies engaged in protecting the homeland. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the U.S. Border Patrol and the National Guard created a cooperative, operational environment that will endure as an example on how to do things right. Based in Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas, the Operation's mission was not to close the nation's border with Mexico but to make it more secure for legal immigration and commerce. By the time Operation Jump start ended, criminal activities of all types had declined along the border, and physical improvements made by Guard engineers along the border seemed certain to reduce illegal activities for the forseeable future.

Download or read book The Accidental History of the U S Immigration Courts written by Alison Peck and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the immigration courts became part of the nation’s law enforcement agency—and how to reshape them. During the Trump administration, the immigration courts were decried as more politicized enforcement weapon than impartial tribunal. Yet few people are aware of a fundamental flaw in the system that has long pre-dated that administration: The immigration courts are not really “courts” at all but an office of the Department of Justice—the nation’s law enforcement agency. This original and surprising diagnosis shows how paranoia sparked by World War II and the War on Terror drove the structure of the immigration courts. Focusing on previously unstudied decisions in the Roosevelt and Bush administrations, the narrative laid out in this book divulges both the human tragedy of our current immigration court system and the human crises that led to its creation. Moving the reader from understanding to action, Alison Peck offers a lens through which to evaluate contemporary bills and proposals to reform our immigration court system. Peck provides an accessible legal analysis of recent events to make the case for independent immigration courts, proposing that the courts be moved into an independent, Article I court system. As long as the immigration courts remain under the authority of the attorney general, the administration of immigration justice will remain a game of political football—with people’s very lives on the line.

Download or read book Southwestern Desert Resources written by William L. Halvorson and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2023-01-17 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The southwestern deserts stretch from southeastern California to west Texas and then south to central Mexico. The landscape of this region is known as basin and range topography featuring to “sky islands” of forest rising from the desert lowlands which creates a uniquely diverse ecology. The region is further complicated by an international border, where governments have caused difficulties for many animal populations. This book puts a spotlight on individual research projects which are specific examples of work being done in the area and when they are all brought together, to shed a general light of understanding the biological and cultural resources of this vast region so that those same resources can be managed as effectively and efficiently as possible. The intent is to show that collaborative efforts among federal, state agency, university, and private sector researchers working with land managers, provides better science and better management than when scientists and land managers work independently.

Download or read book Indefensible written by Judith Greene and published by . This book was released on 2016-07-11 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: December 2015 marked the 10th anniversary of "Operation Streamline," a program targeting migrants who cross the border without authorization for criminal prosecution. The policy is notorious for mass hearings in which up to 80 migrants are arraigned, found guilty, convicted and sentenced for improper entry, a federal misdemeanor, simultaneously in one hearing often lasting less than two hours.However, the mass hearings of Operation Streamline, long decried by immigrant rights advocates, are only the tip of the iceberg. Lesser known is the widespread expansion of felony re-entry prosecutions over the past decade that came with the creation and expansion of the Streamline program. Since 2005, nearly three quarters of a million people have been prosecuted in our federal courts for the crime of improper migration.Indefensible is an oral history of the evolution of Operation Streamline over 10 years and the mass incarceration of migrants that came with it. We examine its legacy and opportunities for resistance.
