Mapping Deportations invites you to see the history of U.S. immigration enforcement not as a series of disconnected events, but as a pattern. For more than two centuries, U.S. immigration enforcement has favored Europeans and their descendants while targeting non-white migrants for exclusion, removal, and punishment. Although U.S. immigration law and policy have shifted over time, the nation’s immigration enforcement regime has consistently produced this result.
Deportation is just one tactic of immigration control. Mapping Deportations offers data visualizations and a timeline to delve deeper into the details of deportation as well as immigrant exclusion, punishment, and the informal process known as “voluntary departure.”
Mapping Deportations is a collaboration between the Center for Immigration Law and Policy (CILP) at the UCLA School of Law and Million Dollar Hoods.
