The Rise of Policing as Immigration Enforcement
This insightful book delves into the complex interplay between local law enforcement and federal immigration policies in the United States, particularly focusing on the controversial 287(g) program. Through a detailed examination of the program's implementation in Nashville, Tennessee, it reveals how local police officers are often thrust into the role of immigration enforcers, leading to significant consequences for immigrant communities. The narrative highlights the tensions and challenges faced by both law enforcement and immigrants, shedding light on the broader implications of intertwining local policing with immigration control, and questioning the efficacy and ethics of such practices.
