Really appreciate this thoughtful reading of my book along with with César book Welcome the Wretched in Bolts from Piper French

As the ACLU documented, at least 48 families' separation was justified merely bc they had violated immigration law. This is peak nonsensical crimmigration logic. I wrote more about the criminalization of immigration in my review of two new books: boltsmag.org/beyond-crimmig…
