Download or read book Policing Immigrants written by Doris Marie Provine and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2016-06-14 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States deported nearly two million illegal immigrants during the first five years of the Obama presidency—more than during any previous administration. President Obama stands accused by activists of being “deporter in chief.” Yet despite efforts to rebuild what many see as a broken system, the president has not yet been able to convince Congress to pass new immigration legislation, and his record remains rooted in a political landscape that was created long before his election. Deportation numbers have actually been on the rise since 1996, when two federal statutes sought to delegate a portion of the responsibilities for immigration enforcement to local authorities. Policing Immigrants traces the transition of immigration enforcement from a traditionally federal power exercised primarily near the US borders to a patchwork system of local policing that extends throughout the country’s interior. Since federal authorities set local law enforcement to the task of bringing suspected illegal immigrants to the federal government’s attention, local responses have varied. While some localities have resisted the work, others have aggressively sought out unauthorized immigrants, often seeking to further their own objectives by putting their own stamp on immigration policing. Tellingly, how a community responds can best be predicted not by conditions like crime rates or the state of the local economy but rather by the level of conservatism among local voters. What has resulted, the authors argue, is a system that is neither just nor effective—one that threatens the core crime-fighting mission of policing by promoting racial profiling, creating fear in immigrant communities, and undermining the critical community-based function of local policing.

This book was released on 2014-05-20 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost 12 million out-of-status aliens currently reside in the United States, and it is estimated that it will take 15 years and more than $5 billion for the Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement to apprehend just the current backlog of absconders. One proposed solution to this enforcement problem is for federal agencies to partner with state and local law-enforcement agencies to apprehend and deport fugitive aliens. Currently, the federal government does not require state and local agencies to carry out specific immigration enforcement actions; however, comprehensive immigration reform may address this issue in the near future. Before such legislation is drafted and considered, it is important to understand all the potential impacts of a policy incorporating immigration enforcement by nonfederal entities. As there is very limited evidence about the effects of involving state and local law enforcement in immigration enforcement duties, the authors seek to clarify the needs and concerns of key stakeholders by describing variations in enforcement approaches and making their pros and cons more explicit. They also suggest areas for research to add empirical evidence to the largely anecdotal accounts that now characterize discussions of the involvement of state and local law enforcement in immigration enforcement efforts.

Book excerpt: Abstract: In the past ten years, local law enforcement agencies have increasingly taken up formal agreements with the federal government which allow them to participate in enforcing immigration laws. The most well-known of these agreements is called 287(g). This thesis analyzes the development of 287(g) in Wake County and Durham County, North Carolina, by examining the policing practices that are associated with immigration enforcement and the immigrant removals process. This project uses qualitative data (including interviews, landscape analysis, court room ethnography, and document analysis) and quantitative analysis (based on police documents and census data) to compare policing practices and outcomes related to immigration enforcement. The project shows that local immigration enforcement policies disproportionately effect residents in Latino/a neighborhoods, resulting the arrest and deportation of local residents on the disproportionate basis of minor traffic violations. This thesis contributes to the literature on the geography of state power by demonstrating that immigration enforcement is not only a federal project that targets border regulation, but is a territorial practice which local law enforcement agencies far from the border use to control local immigrant populations and reproduce national boundaries of political belonging.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended, authorizes the fed. govt. to enter into agreements with state and local law enforcement agencies to train officers to assist in identifying those individuals who are in the country illegally. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is responsible for supervising state and local officers under this program. This report reviews: (1) the extent to which ICE has designed controls to govern 287(g) program implementation; and (2) how program resources are being used and the activities, benefits, and concerns reported by participating agencies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An estimated 11 million unauthorised aliens reside in the United States, and this population is estimated to increase by 500,000 annually. Each year, approximately 1 million aliens are apprehended trying to enter the United States illegally. Although most of these aliens enter the United States for economic opportunities and family reunification, or to avoid civil strife and political unrest, some are criminals, and some may be terrorists. All are violating the United States' immigration laws.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. The power to prescribe rules as to which aliens may enter the U.S. and which aliens may be removed resides solely with the federal government, and in particular with Congress. Deportation and associated administrative processes related to the removal of aliens are civil in nature, while certain violations of federal immigration law, such as smuggling unauthorized aliens into the country, carry criminal penalties. The ability of state and local police to make arrests for federal immigration violations is a subject of legal debate and conflicting jurisprudence. This report discusses the authority of state and local law enforcement to assist in the enforcement of federal immigration law through the investigation and arrest of persons believed to have violated such laws. Illustrations.

Book excerpt: This dissertation examines immigration enforcement within the interior of the United States. Each of the three empirical chapters employs a distinct geographical unit of analysis, state, county, and town. Immigration laws and policies is not simply a matter of national governance, but one that extends well into the interior of the United States. Neither can immigration matters be exclusively the domain of southern border regions and towns. Multi-jurisdictional examination of immigration highlights how borders have extended across states, counties and towns throughout the country. Over the last forty years, the United States has legislated and built an expansive immigration enforcement regime that extends far beyond these border regions well within the country's interior. This dissertation extends empirical, theoretical, and sociological study of U.S. interior immigration enforcement.The first chapter examines restrictive state-level omnibus immigration laws (OILs), using original data to uncover the effects of these laws on compositional change for undocumented, Foreign-born, and Hispanic/Latino populations from 2005 to 2017. Using a quasi-experimental design, I show that by passing omnibus immigration laws, states shape demographic patterns of foreign-born populations. Specifically, I find that states that pass omnibus immigration laws experience a decrease in undocumented and Foreign-born populations relative to states that did not pass similar laws. Effects are estimated each year after the passage of OILs, providing additional insight into the temporal impact of omnibus immigration laws on the settlement patterns of these groups. This paper takes a critical approach by providing theoretical justification to center the role of the subnational in U.S. immigration matters. I find evidence that OILs legislate a unique form of social exclusion within immigrant and undocumented communities living in their jurisdictions. Amid the boom in the late 1980s, there was a rapid increase in the opening of immigrant detention centers. While long-standing legal doctrine deems immigrant detention a civil matter, scholars and activists assert that modern immigrant detention is a form of punishment, effectively erasing the line between the criminal and civil nature of immigration law. Chapter 2 uses data from FOIR (Freedom of Information Requests) to provide a comprehensive historical and spatial analysis of immigrant detention and its connections with the prison boom since 1980. I draw on multiple data sources that, over time, identify that immigrant detention centers are more likely to be opened in towns with prisons. Findings from this study show that towns with detention centers are more likely to have a proximate prison, have greater numbers of Hispanic/Latino populations living in these detention center towns, and worsening economic characteristics over time. By mapping the inequality of place, this paper extends research on how legal violence manifests spatially across towns in the United States. The final chapter advances the literature on the causes, conditions, and consequences of immigrant detention. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in 2016 recommended an increase in the use of private sector involvement in immigrant detention center management. Scholarly empirical research does not fully understand the complex connection between private prison building and immigrant detention center placement in the United States. This study is the first of its kind to examine the likelihood of a county placing an immigrant detention center if a private prison opens from 1980 to 2010 across region and rurality. Findings show that the odds of a county opening an immigrant detention center significantly increase if a prison is present and even more significantly when a private prison is present. In addition, these counties are more likely to attract Hispanic/Latino populations and have more high school graduates than places without immigrant detention centers.

Although the United States has witnessed a sharp drop in illegal border crossings in the past decade alongside an enormous increase in government activities to prevent illegal immigration, there remains little understanding of the role enforcement has played. Better data and analyses to assist lawmakers in crafting more successful policies and to support administration officials in implementing these policies are long overdue.
