Unintended Return: U.S. Deportations and the Fractious Politics of Mobility for Latinos
By Marie Price and Derek Breese, Department of Geography, The George Washington University


This article is grounded in the politics of mobility literature interested in the frictions created within constellations of mobility that create unintended return. Drawing from administrative data produced by the Department of Homeland Security, Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) data, and the U.S. Census, this research (1) documents the scope and uneven practice of forced removal; (2) suggests how unintended return is affecting Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras; and (3) develops the unintended returnee as an important mobility subject.
