Grief and Border-Crossing Rage
In 2019, a White Nationalist shooting occurred in El Paso in the wake of Trump's administration's efforts to dramatically curtail immigration, asylum-seeking, and other kinds of border crossing. The essay draws on the reflexive anthropology of Renato Rosaldo and related bodies of theory to examine the shooting. Its linkages to US border and immigration policy, including family separation, crystallize both how unsettling mass movements of people e…
Migrant Detention Turns Deadlier: The Covid-19 emergency only deepens the crisis of inhumanity in the U.S. carceral immigration system. The only way to truly protect migrant lives is to abolish detent…
A Guatemalan man died in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody on May 24, 2020 after testing positive for Covid-19. Thirty-four-year-old Santiago Baten-Oxlaj was a husband and father of three
Visceral non-presence: Ethnography in the age of Covid
The local slaughterhouse’s coronavirus cluster was the first large outbreak we heard about in Champaign County. The sprawling pork processing plant sits in the midst of cornfields some 17 miles north of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Until early May, workers there processed 35 million pounds of pork a month. The company reported its first case on 25 April. Health inspectors arrived two days later to find the plant 90 percent out …
Necro-subjection: On Borders, Asylum, and Making Dead to Let Live
I draw on the experiences of those that lack the privilege of citizenship in this anti-immigrant age, as they make themselves dead in order to live. They rely on experts in asylum and related immigration proceedings to cast their homelands as hopeless, full of despair, and dominated by monstrous and imminent racialized and gendered oppression and violence. Necro-subjection also speaks more complexly to the politics of human sacrifice evident in d…
Witnessing "Zero Tolerance" at the Border
The Border Thickens: In‐Securing Communities after Irca
This article analyses a certain ‘thickening of the border,’ a term I coin to underscore a certain blurring of the insides and the outsides of the United States with respect to Latin American, primarily Mexican, immigration. In making this intervention, the article underscores the linkages among a dark legacy of the Immigration Reform and Control Act ( IRCA ), the militarization of Border Patrol policing practices in the southwestern United States…

Este artículo aborda lo que he llamado la “densificación de la delincuencia” de un grupo de jóvenes de la calle en Nogales, Sonora, México quienes se han autodenominado “Barrio Libre.” La transformación de este grupo de jóvenes de molestia pública, a una amenazante pandilla transnacional, particularmente por sus cotidianos asaltos a los emigrantes indocumentados, está inextricablemente relacionada con preguntas sobre soberanía y prácticas de vigi…

Cholos, Chúntaros, and the ‘Criminal’ Abandonments of the New Frontier
By advancing what I am calling the new frontier of the United States and Mexico as central in the formation of subjectivities, this article foregrounds two contemporary figures: 'cholos' and the 'chúntaros.' The former is how a particular group of youths, who called themselves Barrio Libre or the Free 'Hood, self-identified and the term is often common shorthand for 'gang' in much of the Americas. The term speaks to the premiere figure of an anxi…

The Managed Violences of the Borderlands: Treacherous Geographies, Policeability, and the Politics of Race
The Thickening Borderlands: Diffused Exceptionality and ‘Immigrant’ Social Struggles during the ‘War on Terror
I draw from ethnographic research in the Mexico-US borderlands,the immigrant social struggle in the United States, and interviews with organizations invested in the immigrant social struggle in Arizona, to explore the historically specific expansion of what I am calling the 'borderlands condition',or the coupling of 'exceptionality' with politicalimaginaries.The former term represents an iteration of the diffused governance of race.The article ch…
