The article discusses the continuation of draconian migration policies across the US, UK, and Australia, particularly under President Trump's administration. It highlights the expansion of migrant detention at Guantanamo Bay and the Laken Riley Act, which allows detention of non-guilty non-US nationals. The piece argues that these extreme measures are not new but part of a historical trend of offshore and criminalized detention dating back to the 1980s. This reflects a broader cycle of racialized carceral violence that transcends individual countries, emphasizing the interconnectedness of these policies.
Successive governments in the US, the UK, and Australia have exchanged brutal migration policies, increasingly criminalizing migrants and expanding detention facilities, reflecting deeper systemic issues.
The roots of the current authoritarian moment lie in racialized carceral violence that circulates across the nation-state borders, influencing migration policies significantly.
