Love, Marriage, and Deportation Available to Purchase

Centering a citizen man (Tom Swann) trying to prevent the deportation of his undocumented husband (Guillermo Hernández), chapter 2 extends marriage migration scholarship by exploring how immigration laws mandating that marriages must be grounded in love enable attrition, detention, and deportation logics and infrastructures to flourish. The Swann/Hernández case, which involved the first ever same-sex wedding in an immigrant detention center, highlights that deportation logics differently affect migrant and citizen spouses within a marriage and that married love often does not prevent deportation.
