a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people

The highly lucrative US private #immigration #detention industry - which is fast expanding - has a long history and has thrived under multiple administrations. Read my recently co-authored piece with recent SIS MA graduate Jack Spehn theimmigrationlab.org/blog/f/deten...

This piece takes a quick look at the current suspension of the US #refugee #resettlement, #USRAP and its immediate impact and a look back in history in terms of its past suspensions and their consequences. theconversation.com/i-study-refu...

I study refugees, and here are the facts on the history and impact of refugee resettlement in the US

#Deportations did not begin with the Trump admin. According to #MPI, the Biden admin was on pace to match the past Trump admin nos. Between 2021 - Feb 2024, there were 1.1 million deportations. The invisibility of expulsions & their current visibility is what needs scrutiny.
