raising children amid the threat of Deportation perspectives from undocumented latina mothers
Journal of Community Practice, 2018Co-Authors: William D Lopez, Pilar Horner, John Doeringwhite, Laura Sanders, Jorge Delva, Ramiro MartinezAbstract:ABSTRACTDespite the large number of families with at least one undocumented parent, little research has investigated mothering amid the threat of immigration enforcement. We present results of a community-based participatory study with 7 Latina mothers who describe their experiences of parenting while navigating the possibility of Deportation. Undocumented mothers found meaning in caring for their children. Yet due to restrictions related to immigration status, mothers were unable to support their children as they intended and feared their Deportations would leave children without care, contributing to psychological duress. We provide recommendations for practitioners working with mixed-status families.

testimonial engagement undocumented latina mothers navigating a gendered Deportation regime
Journal of International Migration and Integration, 2016Co-Authors: John Doeringwhite, William D Lopez, Pilar Horner, Laura Sanders, Ramiro Martinez, Jorge DelvaAbstract:This community-based qualitative study investigated the real or threatened impact of immigration enforcement on undocumented mothers as they navigate a “gendered Deportation regime.” We analyzed seven interviews with undocumented mothers who have experienced the Deportation of someone close to them and live under the constant threat of Deportation. Based on an inductive, team-based analysis process, we present case examples of four themes that illustrate how undocumented mothers describe their experience negotiating the aftermath and threat of Deportation: quality of life, material possibilities, balancing the social, and engaging with advocacy networks. Findings expand on previous research emphasizing the impact of “deportability” on the everyday lives of undocumented immigrants by attending to gendered aspects of immigration enforcement. As a collaborative research team composed of social work faculty, graduate students, and immigrant rights activists, we also critically engage with our attempts to meld research and community organizing in order to illustrate challenges that scholars and social service practitioners face when working with undocumented populations.

Deportation history among hiv positive latinos in two us mexico border communities
Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health, 2015Co-Authors: Fatima Munoz, Gudelia Rangel, Victoria D Ojeda, Argentina E Servin, Richard S Garfein, Maria Luisa ZunigaAbstract:Health-related vulnerabilities associated with Deportation are understudied. We conducted a cross-sectional study to identify factors associated with history of Deportation from the US to Mexico among HIV-positive Latinos. From 2009 to 2010, we recruited a convenience sample from HIV clinics in San Diego, US and Tijuana, Mexico. Of 283 participants, 25 % reported a prior Deportation. Factors independently associated with increased odds of Deportation history were being male [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 2.77; 95 % CI 1.18–6.48], having ≤high-school education (AOR 3.87; 95 % CI 1.84–8.14), ever using cocaine (AOR 2.46; 95 % CI 1.33–4.57), and reporting personalized HIV-stigma: “some have told me HIV is what I deserve for how I lived” (AOR 2.23; 95 % CI 1.14–4.37). Lower self-reported antiretroviral medication adherence (AOR 0.35; 95 % CI 0.12–0.96) and perceiving HIV-stigma: “most people believe a person who has HIV is dirty” (AOR 0.49; 95 % CI 0.25–0.94) were associated with decreased odds of Deportation history. Deportation is associated with specific socioeconomic indicators that are known to impact the health of individuals living with HIV.

Deportation experiences of women who inject drugs in tijuana mexico
Qualitative Health Research, 2012Co-Authors: Angela M Robertson, Alicia Vera, Jose Luis Burgos, Gudelia Rangel, Remedios Lozada, Carlos Magisrodriguez, Lawrence A. Palinkas, Victoria D OjedaAbstract:Deportation from the United States for drug offenses is common, yet the consequences of Deportation for women drug users are poorly documented. In 2008, in Tijuana, Mexico, we conducted an exploratory qualitative study of migration, Deportation, and drug abuse by interviewing 12 Mexican injection-drug-using women reporting U.S. Deportation. Women reported heavy drug use before and after Deportation, but greater financial instability and physical danger following Deportation than when in the United States. We identified an unmet need for health and social services among deported drug-using women, including HIV prevention, drug treatment, physical and mental health services, and vocational training. Binational coordination is needed to help deported women resettle in Mexico.

male injection drug users try new drugs following u s Deportation to tijuana mexico
Drug and Alcohol Dependence, 2012Co-Authors: Angela M Robertson, Alicia Vera, Gudelia M Rangel, Remedios Lozada, Victoria D OjedaAbstract:Background Among male injection drug users (IDUs) in Tijuana, Mexico, U.S. Deportation is associated with HIV transmission. Changing drug use behaviors following Deportation, including the use of new drugs, may increase HIV risk but are understudied. We identify correlates of trying new drugs following male IDUs’ most recent U.S. Deportation to Mexico.

Deportation, Crisis and Social Change
The Oxford Handbook of Migration Crises, 2018Co-Authors: Heike Drotbohm, Ines HasselbergAbstract:In contemporary migration policy and practice across the globe, Deportation has emerged as an apparently inevitable response to real, or otherwise perceived, migration crises. A skeptical attitudetoward the analytic use of “crisis” in the context of Deportation is called for, as is the need to concentrate on the political genealogy of the term, which culminates in the justification of “emergency” policies and the implementation of new measures of control. Yet, at the same time—when states govern undocumented or unwanted residents through Deportation and employ the notion of crisis for justifying irregular and often violent acts towards deportable subjects—a situation emerges that indeed shares key characteristics with the definition of crisis. Not only deportees, but also their families and other community members perceive the threat, the execution, and the outcome of Deportation as a radical disruption from the norm, a break of a situation considered normal, stable, and healthy. By means of distinguishing different levels of perceptions as well as rationales of linking Deportation to the notion of crisis, the transformative element inherent in Deportation is revealed, which complicates popular and political notions of membership, security, and mobility.

Reshaping possible futures: Deportation, home and the United Kingdom
Anthropology Today, 2016Co-Authors: Ines HasselbergAbstract:In this article I examine how foreign nationals in the United Kingdom (UK) envisage the possibility of a forced return to their countries of origin. Drawing on ethnographic data collected in London among foreign national offenders appealing their Deportation at the Immigration Tribunal, I show how preparations for an eventual return were seldom made by those appealing Deportation, even if the prospect of their forced removal and its implications for the family left behind was constantly on their minds. Appealing Deportation can be a long process; living with the risk of being deported strongly impacts on the plans the migrants had devised and hoped for before Deportation intruded into their lives. In this sense, and in the course of the Deportation process, migrants have to reshape their sense of possible futures to include family separation and possible departures – Deportation being only one of these. Generational differences and sustained transnational connections were influential in the reshaping of these possible futures. The data presented shows how for most research participants Deportation means ‘leaving the UK’ and not ‘returning home’.

Deportation anxiety justice new ethnographic perspectives
Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, 2015Co-Authors: Heike Drotbohm, Ines HasselbergAbstract:This paper introduces a collection of articles that share ethnographic perspectives on the intersections between Deportation, anxiety and justice. As a form of expulsion regulating human mobility, Deportation policies may be justified by public authorities as measures responding to anxieties over (unregulated) migration. At the same time, they also bring out uncertainty and unrest to deportable/deported migrants and their families. Providing new and complementary insights into what ‘Deportation’ as a legal and policy measure actually embraces in social reality, this special issue argues for an understanding of Deportation as a process that begins long before, and carries on long after, the removal from one country to another takes place. It provides a transnational perspective over the ‘Deportation corridor’, covering different places, sites, actors and institutions. Furthermore, it reasserts the emotional and normative elements inherent to Deportation policies and practices emphasising the interplay between Deportation, perceptions of justice and national, institutional and personal anxieties. The papers cover a broad spectrum of geographical sites, Deportation practices and perspectives and are a significant and long overdue contribution to the current state of the art in Deportation studies.

balancing legitimacy exceptionality and accountability on foreign national offenders reluctance to engage in anti Deportation campaigns in the uk
Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, 2015Co-Authors: Ines HasselbergAbstract:This paper addresses the lack of collective political action and engagement in protests and anti-Deportation campaigns (ADCs) on the part of foreign-national offenders facing Deportation from the UK. Taking ADC guidelines from migrant support groups, and drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in London, I show that the circumstances of foreign-national offenders, and in particular their own understandings of their removal, appear incompatible with open political action and with the broader work of ADC support groups. The findings presented throughout this paper make the case that foreign-national offenders have conflicting notions about their Deportation and their ‘right’ to protest and campaign against it, revealing how perceptions of legitimacy impact not only on how policies are lived and experienced but also on the scope for political action on the part of those who are experiencing those policies.

An ethnography of Deportation from Britain
2013Co-Authors: Ines HasselbergAbstract:In the past decades, immigration policies have been refined to broaden eligibility to Deportation and allow easier removal of unwanted foreign nationals. Yet how people respond to a given set of policies cannot be fully anticipated. Studying the ways people interpret, understand and experience policies allows for a better understanding of how they work in practice. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in London, this thesis examines experiences of Deportation and deportability of migrants convicted of a criminal offence in the UK. It finds that migrants’ deportability is experienced in relation to official bodies, such as the Home Office, the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal, Immigration Removal Centres and Reporting Centres, and becomes embedded in their daily lives, social relations and sense of self. The lived experience of Deportation policies emphasizes the material and human costs associated with Deportation and highlights its punitive and coercive effects. Deportability marks migrants’ lives with chronic waiting and anxiety. As a result, migrants awaiting Deportation make use of four coping strategies: enduring uncertainty, absenting and forming personal cues (Agard & Harder 2007), and also re-imagining their futures. In turn, migrants’ understandings of their own removal appear incompatible with open political action and with the broader work of Anti-Deportation Campaign support groups. Resistance is thus enacted as compliance with state controls (such as surveillance and immobility), which are perceived as designed to make them fail, rendering them ever more deportable. By enduring this power over them, migrants are resisting their removal and fighting to stay. The thesis concludes that the interruption of migrants’ existence in the UK is effected long before their actual removal from the territory. It is a process developing from the embodiment of their deportability as their present and future lives become suspended by the threat of expulsion from their residence of choice
