The CBP Home app urges migrants to self-deport. However, given the external pressures that migrants face in their lives, many self-deportations are not voluntary. MiSC scholar @adamsigoodman 's work on self-deportations provides us with a lens to see through these fallacies. 🧵⤵️
A new series rolling out on publicbooks.org, "Fascism's Building Blocks," was commissioned by MiSC members @ANaomiPaik and Catherine S. Ramírez and examines the laws and practices that paved the way for today's emergent fascism. Check it out! publicbooks.org/tag/fascisms…
On April 12, 2026, Aled Damien Carbonell-Betancourt died in ICE custody. How can we use the works of MiSC scholars such as @ackocher to contextualize this death, the deaths of the sixteen other people who have died in ICE custody in 2026, and the criminalization of migration? 🧵
Scholar & author @tanyaboza, writing in @NatCounterPunch, breaks down what's really happening: federal immigration agencies are doing street-level policing w/ less accountability than local cops. No body cams, no civilian oversight, & no real consequences when things go wrong.
