Description
Examining the expansion of immigration screening in the United States, this book traces how increasingly intensive vetting practices shape the lives of migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers. It explores the institutions, technologies, and discretionary judgments behind security screening, revealing how national-security concerns intersect with questions of race, belonging, bureaucracy, and human rights. Through careful research and compelling analysis, the book shows how “extreme vetting” has become both a policy tool and a defining feature of contemporary border governance.
