Detained and Deported: Stories of Immigrant Families Under Fire by Margaret Regan

4.0

Stories of detainees on the US/Mexico border. I feel both horrified and embarrassed (though never surprised) by the lack of humanity and levels of cruelty that ICE and for profit prisons use against immigrants. Regan tells the stories of families desperate to stay together and the high price that innocent children pay when your birthplace determines being treated like a human or like garbage. This is both a disturbing book and a book that should be read widely. It is something that racist POS should be reading, because most likely their families, back a few generations may have experience the same trauma. How short our memories are, and how hard our hearts are. Regan's magnifying glass forces us to look at what our government is doing and work to change it for the better.
