Professor Brad Jones co-edited an issue of the Russell Sage Foundation Journal on the topic of deportation in the United States

Brad Jones and Caitlin Patler (UC Berkeley) recently co-edited an edition of the Russell Sage Foundation Journal of the Social Sciences. The volume is a multidisciplinary collection of articles focused broadly on the important and timely issue of deportation in the United States. The Patler and Jones article explains how US immigration policy over the past 40 years has made it "easier" for the federal government to engage in mass detention and deportation policies. Contributors to the issue explore issues related to the expansion of the 287g program, the implications of immigration raids and roundups on behavioral outcomes of youth, and the rise of de facto deportees--US citizen children who are removed when their parents are deported, as well as other issues. Given the relevance of deportation in the second Trump Administration, this issue provides considerable insights and backdrop to what we observe today. https://www.rsfjournal.org/content/11/4?current-issue=y
