Immigration Nation (2020)
A documentary looking inside the world of immigration enforcement under the Trump administration.
Cast:
Prevention Through Deterrence
Camerina's efforts to identify and recover her son — one of thousands of migrants who disappeared crossing the border — prove wrenching.
The Right Way
Asylum seeker Berta has been held by ICE for 17 months in an attempt to discourage others. As asylum laws get stricter, exiles face greater hardships.
The New Normal
In North Carolina, ICE tries to pressure the newly elected sheriff, but activists fight back. In Florida, a local politician exploits immigrant fears.
The Power of the Vote
US military veteran César tries to get politicians to ease his undocumented status. He's one of many seeking relief for their service.
Maintaining Vigilance
In immigration court, managed out of DOJ instead of the judicial branch and operating by its own rules, Josué argues to be reunited with his family.
Installing Fear
The Trump administration expanded ICE and changed its mandate. Now agents can deport anyone, including two fathers recently separated from their kids.
