“All of Us or None”

This chapter examines the migration justice organizers’ understanding of crimmigration, a neologism coined in the movement and used since 2010. The chapter traces the legal production of the criminal alien. Crimmigration introduces an efficiency to the deportation apparatus through collaborations among immigration enforcement, law enforcement, and corrections departments. The organizers identify the contact points between immigration enforcement and the criminal legal system to formulate campaigns that intervene in these legal developments that reinforce existing racial, gender, sexual, and class hierarchies. The antideportation organizers’ engagement with carcerality allows them to move toward abolition and visions of life-sustaining community-based alternatives.
