Mona Lynch, Hard Bargains: The Coercive Power of Drug Laws in Federal Court
Policing Immigrants: Local Law Enforcement on the Front Lines
Peripheral Matters: The Emergence of Legalized Politics in Local Struggles Over Unauthorized Immigration
National immigration policy meets the realities of unauthorized immigration at the local level, often in ways undesired by residents, as exemplified by the dramatic rise of local anti‐immigrant legislation in US states and municipalities. Scholars have studied why some states and municipalities, but not others, engage in immigration policy making. Such research is not designed, however, to evaluate how the basic structure of US government facilit…
Constructing Illegality in America: Critiques, Experiences, and Responses
The topic of 'illegal' immigration has been a major aspect of public discourse in the United States and many other immigrant-receiving countries. From the beginning of its modern invocation in the early twentieth century, the often ill-defined epithet of human 'illegality' has figured prominently in the media; in vigorous public debates at the national, state, and local levels; and in presidential campaigns. In this collection of essays, contribu…
Institutional Racism in Enforcing Immigration Law
The United States is committed to aggressive efforts to remove unauthorized immigrants while honoring its commitment to race neutrality. Yet immigration enforcement has disproportionately targeted Mexicans and Central Americans. The racial bias can be found at both the federal and local levels, where local police are becoming increasingly involved in locating unauthorized immigrants. The local example featured here is Arizona because of its histo…
Immigrants and civil rights in cross-national perspective: Lessons from North America
The degree to which a nation envisions civil rights as applying to all residents offers insight into its commitment to and capacity for immigrant inclusion. A much-debated question is whether there is a trend toward convergence in national policies around immigrant inclusion, given globalization and the rise in human rights norms. Or do institutional legacies and domestic politics tend to preserve old approaches? This issue has been investigated …

Why Do (Some) City Police Departments Enforce Federal Immigration Law? Political, Demographic, and Organizational Influences on Local Choices
In 1996, Congress created a new way to enforce national immigration laws, inviting state and local law enforcement personnel to become formally involved in the effort. Why have police departments in some communities embraced increased involvement in immigration enforcement, whereas others have shunned this role? Do local elected officials typically determine the contours of police practice in this area or do police departments act with considerab…
A Multilayered Jurisdictional Patchwork: Immigration Federalism in the United States
This article focuses on the immigration‐related demands currently being placed on local police in the United States and the emergence of what we call a “multilayered jurisdictional patchwork” (MJP) of immigration enforcement. We report results from nationwide surveys of city police chiefs and county sheriffs and intensive fieldwork in three jurisdictions. The enforcement landscape we describe is complicated by the varying and overlapping responsi…
Scaled Down: Perspectives on State and Local Creation and Enforcement of Immigration Law. Introduction to the Special Issue of Law & Policy
The Criminalization of Immigrants as a Racial Project
Contemporary policy responses to unauthorized immigration, we argue, reinforce racialized anxieties by (a) focusing attention on physically distinctive and economically marginalized minorities who are defined as the nation’s immigration“threat,” (b) creating new spaces of enforcement within which racial anxieties flourish and become institutionalized; and thereby (c) racializing immigrant bodies. We examine three federal enforcement policies: (a)…
Race and Inequality in the War on Drugs
Drug use is pervasive, generally private, and of long standing. The social effects are sometimes problematic, but it is a large step to declare a war on drug use. This review considers how that approach came to be adopted in the United States and why it persists despite its evident shortcomings. This war could not be maintained without societal racism and the manipulation of racial stereotypes to make drugs something to be feared. Beneath society…
Suspecting immigrants: Exploring links between racialised anxieties and expanded police powers in Arizona
Immigration enforcement has become an important site of expanded police powers to stop and search as the USA attempts to remove more unauthorised immigrants from its interior. Arizona has enthusiastically embraced this approach, treating Latino immigrants as a quasi-criminal element. State legislation requiring municipal police to engage in immigration enforcement, along with past local police practice directed at immigrant removal, strident poli…
Justice as Told by Judges: The Case of Litigation over Local Anti-Immigrant Legislation
In the absence of comprehensive immigration reform at the federal level, many American states and localities are undertaking their own legal reforms. The new state and local laws have been challenged by immigrant-rights organizations and individuals on the grounds that the federal government has already pre-empted the field. The lawsuits bring a new narrative voice—that of judges—into the boiling U.S. immigration debate. Judges engage the controv…
Race and the Response of State Legislatures to Unauthorized Immigrants
Increasingly, state legislatures are enacting laws to regulate immigrant populations. What accounts for these responses to foreign-born residents? To explain legislative activity at the state level, the authors examine a variety of factors, including the size and growth of foreign-born and Hispanic local populations, economic well-being, crime rates, and conservative or liberal political ideology in state government and among the citizenry. The a…

Too Many Black Men: The Sentencing Judge's Dilemma
Legal reform sometimes has unanticipated, even ironic, results. A good example is federal legislation adopted in the 1980s that was supposed to enhance equity in sentencing. Congress, like many state legislatures in this period, reduced judicial control over sentencing by adopting presumptive sentencing guidelines for all serious criminal offenses and mandatory sentences for some specific crimes. Reformers did succeed in reducing judicial discret…
Privatization of Judicial Services
Privatization should be conceived broadly to encompass government's withdrawal from any domain. So conceived, privatization policy includes changes in the organization and delivery of public services that are not always recognized and discussed as services, such as in the case of the civil court system. Contemporary changes in judicial services which are reported here describe the movement toward less visible and less accountable modes of court d…
