What

As U.S. policymakers struggle to find a policy solution to address the restrictions on legal immigration that lead to undocumented immigration, deportations have become a reality affecting the lives of millions of immigrants and local communities.

brings together researchers ranging from sociology, to economics, to foreign language and law, practitioners, and lawyers from �������� and throughout the world to analyze different aspects of deportation. The first part of the conference presents new research on the local effects of deportations on the economy and on crime, and on the effects of immigrant detention on families and children. In the second part, attendees learn from stories of deported people and hear from activists and practitioners who will discuss their experiences assisting immigrants with legal issues in their deportation proceedings. 

This conference and roundtable is organized by the �������� Migration Research Cluster with support from the UC Mexico Initiative.
