The arduous, confusing and fraught journey that immigrants take
through immigration court Each year, hundreds of thousands of
migrants are moved through immigration court. With a national
backlog surpassing one million cases, court hearings take years and
most migrants will eventually be ordered deported. The Slow
Violence of Immigration Court sheds light on the experiences of
migrants from the "Northern Triangle" (Guatemala, Honduras, and El
Salvador) as they navigate legal processes, deportation
proceedings, immigration court, and the immigration system writ
large. Grounded in the illuminating stories of people facing
deportation, the family members who support them, and the attorneys
who defend them, The Slow Violence of Immigration Court invites
readers to question matters of fairness and justice and the fear of
living with the threat of deportation. Although the spectacle of
violence created by family separation and deportation is perceived
as extreme and unprecedented, these long legal proceedings are
masked in the mundane and are often overlooked, ignored, and
excused. In an urgent call to action, Maya Pagni Barak deftly
demonstrates that deportation and family separation are not
abhorrent anomalies, but are a routine, slow form of violence at
the heart of the U.S. immigration system.
