University of Denver law professor and immigration lawyer César Cuauhtémoc García Hernández, who also runs a blog, Crimmigation.com, is here with his new book, Migrating to Prison: America’s Obsession with Locking Up Immigrants (The New Press).

“Migrating to Prison rips the veils off of the immigration detention system. García Hernández brings a sharp legal eye to showing how our immigration system has become so twisted that we take for granted the outrageous. If you want a crystal clear explanation of why we need to abolish immigration detention, this is the book for you.” —Aviva Chomsky.

“Required reading for anyone fighting for a new immigration policy vision that welcomes immigrants. We need to understand the sadistic, multibillion-dollar industry of immigrant detention so that we can rip it down and make sure it never comes back.”—Cristina Jiménez.

Presented by Town Hall Civics in partnership with Elliott Bay Book Company.
