BEHIND CRIMMIGRATION
ICE, Law Enforcement, and Resistance in America
In recent years, dozens of counties in North Carolina have partnered with federal law enforcement in the criminalization of immigration—what many have dubbed "crimmigration." Southern border enforcement still monopolizes the national immigration debate, but immigration enforcement has become common within the United States as well. While Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations are a major part of American immigration enforcement, Felicia Arriaga maintains that ICE relies on an already well-established system—the use of local law enforcement and local governments to identify, incarcerate, and deport undocumented immigrants.
Dr. Arriaga completed her PhD in Sociology at Duke University and is an Assistant Professor in the Marxe School of Public and International Affairs at Baruch College.
