ICYMI: NYT Magazine on Resisting Deportation in Trump’s America

ICYMI, this weekend’s New York Times Magazine contains an excellent and very timely feature article by journalist Marcela Valdes, entitled, “Is it Possible to Resist Deportation in Trump’s America?” It traces the history and strategy of the Puente Human Rights Movement which developed new tactics for protecting communities from deportation under the State of Arizona’s enforcement-by-attrition policies, including the aggressive steps taken by former Sheriff Joseph Arpaio against immigrants in Maricopa County.  The article — which contains quotes from Immprofers Shoba Sivaprasad Wadhia and  Stephen Legomsky — reflects important insights on deportation policy under the current federal leadership as well as insights on how communities across the country might respond.
