The invisible wreckage left behind by mass deportations
In short: Between 2008 and 2016, the United States deported over three million people. This talk explores the social consequences that occur after the state's involvement ends, focusing on the ripple effects of forced removal on local communities.
Journalist Duarte Geraldino examines the human cost of deportation by looking at the lives of those remaining in the country. Rather than focusing solely on the individual being removed, the narrative highlights how the sudden absence of a mother, a business owner, or a student disrupts the social fabric.
The presentation argues that these removals wreak havoc on the fundamental relationships that hold communities together. It serves as a study of the wider, often overlooked impact of forced removal on the stability of local neighborhoods and families.
