Join our open forum on immigration enforcement in the US and the racialization and criminalization of Latine communities, featuring Dr. David Hernández (Latina/o Studies and Critical Race and Political Economy, Mt. Holyoke) and an NYC-based organizer. Dr. Hernández will situate the present within the longer history of US immigration detention and deportation. We will then hear from our organizer about how immigration enforcement is unfolding in NYC and strategies being developed to counter it. Brief presentations will be followed by a Q&A, during which attendees can ask questions and voice their concerns.

Readings by Dr. Hernández will be precirculated to registrants should they wish to learn more about his work and the US immigration detention regime.

This event is part of a year-long program that CSSD has been organizing, Countering the Carceral State, which explores the crises of disciplinary enforcement at home and abroad. In partnership with the Institute of Latin American Studies and the Center for the Study of Ethnicty and Race at Columbia University.
