Jacqueline Stevens, a political science researcher, focused on the case of Pedro Guzman, an American citizen deported despite his legal status. This prompted her to investigate the undocumented deportation of U.S. citizens, revealing that approximately 1% of individuals detained and 0.5% of deportees are citizens. Her findings underscore the trauma faced by those wrongly deported as immigration policies evolve under scrutiny, particularly during Donald Trump's administration, which has discussed deporting citizens convicted of crimes. Stevens' work sheds light on an often hidden crisis within immigration enforcement.
