Deport exposes the on-the-ground workings of local immigration
enforcement in Nashville, Tennessee. Between 2007 and 2012,
Nashville's local jail participated in an immigration enforcement
program called 287(g), which turned jail employees into immigration
officers who identified over ten thousand removable immigrants for
deportation. The vast majority of those identified for removal were
not serious criminals, but Latino residents arrested by local
police for minor violations. Protect, Serve, and Deport explains
how local politics, state laws, institutional policies, and police
practices work together to deliver immigrants into an expanding
federal deportation system, conveying powerful messages about race,
citizenship, and belonging.
During the Trump administration, more people sought sanctuary in
churches in Philadelphia than any other city in the United States.
The city was also on the front lines of progressive policy making,
defending its sanctuary policies in federal court. In this
collection of essays and interviews, a diverse set of authors
examine the promise and limits of sanctuary. Contributors include
Carmela Apolonio Hernandez, who spent over three years living in
sanctuary to resist deportation, community organizers who work to
build a more just and inclusive city, and leading academics who
explore the origins of sanctuary and its intersections with the
workplace, policing, and university campuses. Collectively, these
authors offer a roadmap for how sanctuary is created and sustained
and argue for a future in which no human being is illegal.
