DESCRIPTION:Inside the Growing Architecture of U.S. Immigration Enforcement\n\nPanel 
 discussion on how the U.S. government’s aggressive immigration crackdown 
 is reshaping the lives of migrants.\n\nDate & Time: June 25 @ 1 PM - 2 PM 
 PT (4 PM - 5 PM ET)\n\nRSVP: 
 https://events.propublica.org/immigration-enforcement\n\n\nJoin ProPublica 
 reporters for an in-depth discussion about their recently published 
 investigations into the Trump administration’s moves to ramp up 
 deportations. Together, these stories reveal how immigration enforcement is 
 quietly being embedded into everyday institutions, raising urgent questions 
 about transparency, accountability and the future of immigration policy in 
 America.\n\nThe Office of Refugee Resettlement, tasked with protecting 
 unaccompanied immigrant children, has shifted toward enforcement by sharing 
 sponsor information with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, leading to 
 the arrests of such guardians and the prolonged detentions of children, as 
 well as family separations. This transformation has turned a protective 
 agency into an enforcement arm, placing minors and mixed-status families at 
 new risk, often without public knowledge or accountability. \n\nMeanwhile, 
 ICE officials tout an unprecedented expansion of the 287(g) Program, which 
 allows state and local police to enter federal agreements to act as 
 deportation officers. Government watchdogs have warned that such agreements 
 lack oversight, while advocates allege they come at a high cost to 
 communities.\n\nThe panel also examines how private companies and logistics 
 networks have enabled enforcement to scale rapidly and invisibly. We’ll 
 share insights into the hidden world of deportation flights, where civilian 
 flight attendants report unsafe, traumatic conditions as migrants are moved 
 with little oversight. We’ll also discuss how a privately held company 
 has made billions running tent detention facilities to hold immigrants 
 entering the U.S. at the border. The session also covers how individuals 
 — many without criminal convictions — have been swept up in this system 
 and deported to dangerous conditions abroad, including prisons in El 
 Salvador. \n\nDuring this virtual event, reporters will trace these threads 
 across systems of care, policing, privatization and international 
 detention, revealing how enforcement has become more expansive. Submit your 
 question for our panelists below when you RSVP.\n\n
