The Justice Gap for Unaccompanied Children in US Immigration Court: Rurality, Resources, and Client Characteristics as Determinants of Access to Counsel
Despite their status as a formally protected group in US immigration law, unaccompanied minors are not guaranteed legal representation. Facing removal proceedings in immigration court alone places children at high risk of deportation back to danger and deprivation in their home countries. Limited funding exists for migrant-serving legal aid organizations, and indigent children’s demand for free legal services far outpaces the available supply. Th…
New Data on Unaccompanied Minors in US Immigration Court (2009–2023)
Lack of data transparency and administrative data quality issues have hindered our understanding of the treatment of unaccompanied minors in the United States to date. This Dispatch from the Field provides new statistics on nearly a half million unaccompanied minors navigating removal proceedings in US immigration courts nationwide between 2009 and 2023 (through March), including population demographics, geographic location of cases, representati…
Deporting children: Case outcomes for unaccompanied minors facing removal proceedings in US immigration court
Using an originally compiled dataset of over 200,000 cases of unaccompanied minors decided in US immigration court between 2009 and 2023, this paper asks: what determines whether immigrant children are ordered deported? Past work has examined adults’ cases, focusing on adjudicator characteristics and legal representation as determinants of case outcomes. We add to newer scholarship that has shifted focus to the role of immigrant characteristics i…

Gladys I. McCormick. The Logic of Compromise in Mexico: How the Countryside Was Key to the Emergence of Authoritarianism
In recent years, historians of twentieth-century Mexico have uncovered the wide-ranging popular resistance that existed between 1940 and 1968, a period previously understood as one of political stability. Ruled by the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI, by its Spanish acronym), that supposed pax-priísta actually saw extensive protest in both rural and urban areas, as workers, peasants, students, and indigenous people challenged a party that b…
Memories of Justice
This article analyzes the Cardenista legacy in Mexico's rural normales, teacher training schools for the rural population. Through an examination of oral histories, published memoirs, and autobiographies, I argue that rural normales' origins, the political culture that developed therein, and the upward mobility they enabled, ingrained an enduring sense of justice in their students. Cárdenas-era struggles and reforms were fundamental in this proce…

Espionage and Education: Reporting on Student Protest in Mexico's Normales Rurales, 1960-1980
Mexico's normales rurales, training schools for rural teachers, have long had a reputation for political radicalism. Their students, themselves from campesino households, consistently participated in, and often led, popular protests. This article examines the way in which Gobernación agents reported on the various forms of normalista mobilisation and interrogates the official narrative such documents constructed about these schools. It discusses …

Rural Resistance in the Land of Zapata: The Jaramillista Movement and the Myth of the Pax-Priísta, 1940 1962
In Rural Resistance in the Land of Zapata, Tanalís Padilla shows that the period from 1940 to 1968, generally viewed as a time of social and political stability in Mexico, actually saw numerous instances of popular discontent and widespread state repression. Padilla provides a detailed history of a mid-twentieth-century agrarian mobilization in the Mexican state of Morelos, the homeland of Emiliano Zapata. In so doing, she brings to the fore the …
From Agraristas to Guerrilleros: The Jaramillista Movement in Morelos
The 1940s witnessed a resurgence of agrarismo in Morelos, Mexico, the homeland of Emiliano Zapata. Under the leadership of Rubén Jaramillo, campesinos fought for better crop prices, credit, and land reform.1 The struggle of the Jaramillistas, as the participants became known, lasted from 1942 until Jaramillo’s assassination in 1962. As the movement unfolded in the years between the end of the Cardenista presidency and the height of the cold war, …
Por las buenas no se puede: Ruben Jaramillo's Campaigns for Governor of Morelos, 1946 and 1952
The jaramillistas are an example of the popular protests and struggles that have marked the Mexican post-revolutionary landscape. Named after their spokesperson and leader Rubén Jaramillo (1900–1962), this group of campesinos fought to secure the gains promised and only partially fulfilled by the Revolution.1 This article will discuss the jaramillistas, a movement in the state of Morelos during the 1940s and 1950s. A generation schooled in the re…
