All are welcome to attend a Baldy Center workshop
on Friday, April 28 and Saturday, April 29, 2006, 12 O'Brian Hall,
on Merging Immigration and Crime Control:
An Interdisciplinary Workshop organized by Teresa Miller,
UB Law; and Nora Demleitner, Hofstra University
Description
East Meets West in a Northern Border Town.
This conference brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars
and clinicians to discuss the convergence of crime control and immigration
control, particularly since the declaration of the War on Drugs
and the War on Terror. Participants will examine recent immigration
law and policy reforms that adopt a more criminally punitive approach
to the treatment of non-US citizens. These reforms include the detention
of certain classes of removable aliens, local police enforcement
of federal immigration law, expedited removal of undocumented workers,
and the removal of so-called "criminal" aliens. Discussions
will also shed light on the manner in which immigration control
and national security are reshaping the contours of criminal justice
and correctional practices in this contemporary renegotiation of
the relationship between the immigration and criminal justice systems.
