Abstract: Since the mid-1990s, deportations of noncitizens have risen significantly, from less than 51,000 in 1995 to almost 360,000 in 2019 (U.S. Department of Homeland Security 2020). This increase has been significantly influenced by the devolution of immigration enforcement, as federal immigration authorities have co-opted state- and local-law enforcement agencies into policing immigrants (Coleman 2007). Because the vast majority of recent deportees are Latinx1 men, Latinx families and communities have been devastated by the effects of this substantial increase in deportations (Golash-Boza and Hondagneu-Sotelo 2013), including the loss of much needed income and childcare, and a greater likelihood of psychological trauma and long-term health problems for children (Hacker et al. 2012:7)
