- Authors
Nofil, Brianna
- Abstract
The article explores the U.S. earliest efforts to develop an immigration detention system in Northern New York and local infrastructure to facilitate immigration law enforcement. It mentions permeated border towns' discussions of exclusion, policing, and their role in immigration law enforcement and Chinese prisoners as a threat to law and order. It also mentions habeas corpus claims to undercut the legal barriers posed by the Chinese Exclusion Act.
