Editor's Notes
- Deportation: Forced removal of a non-citizen.In 2010, the United States deported 400,000 people, more than double the number deported in 2002, and more than the entire decade of the 1980s.
- Over 95 percent of deportees have been from Latin America and the Caribbean.Relatively few deportees are sent to Asia, Europe, or the Middle East.Nearly all deportees are men
- Between 1997 and 2006, ten thousand Jamaican legal permanent residents were deported. This amounts to four percent of the 240,000 Jamaican legal permanent residents.Jamaicans are about twenty times more likely to be deported than other legally present migrants.
- Jamaicans are 20 times more likely to be deported.
- Increased co-operation between the police and ICE will lead to more racial disparities in immigration law enforcement, because of the racial disparities in criminal law enforcement.Aggressive policing and racial profiling lead to deportation of Jamaicans.Black and Latinos are more likely to be deported due to cooperation between police and ICE
