This book is a terrific introduction to the realities of deportation in the current U.S. immigration system. While the author is an attorney and operates an immigration legal clinic at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, his writing style is relatable and down to earth. He realizes his privilege as a white man with an advanced degree and it's clear that he admires the resiliency, passion, and strength of the people he has gotten to know as an immigration lawyer.

Kagan gives you a deeper look inside the deportation machine than what you get in news articles. And, what you see will stay with you long after you finish the book.
