Analysis of two court cases involving indigenous migrants, one in Oaxaca and one in California, shows what justice means for these people, how the effects of the state are constructed, and what kind of relationships people establish with what we call the state and the justice system. Despite the differences between the two cases, the indigenous subjects involved ended up experiencing these situations in similar ways. They live on the margins of the state and are largely removed from the law as a procedure and justice as an ideal. El análisis de dos casos judiciales que involucran a los migrantes indígenas, uno en Oaxaca y otro en California, muestra qué significa la justicia para estas personas, cómo se construyen los efectos del estado, y qué tipo de relaciones establecen las personas con lo que llamamos el estado y el sistema de justicia. A pesar de las diferencias entre los dos casos, los sujetos indígenas implicados terminaron sufriendo estas situaciones de manera similar. Viven en los márgenes del estado y lejos de la ley como procedimiento y la justicia como ideal
