How the immigration courts became part of the nation's law enforcement agency--and how to reshape them.During the Trump administration, the immigration courts were decried as more politicized enforcement weapon than impartial tribunal. Focusing on previously unstudied decisions in the Roosevelt and Bush administrations, the narrative laid out in this book divulges both the human tragedy of our current immigration court system and the human crises that led to its creation. Yet few people are aware of a fundamental flaw in the system that has long pre-dated that administration: The immigration courts are not really "courts" at all but an office of the Department of Justice--the nation's law enforcement agency.This original and surprising diagnosis shows how paranoia sparked by World War II and the War on Terror drove the structure of the immigration courts.
