Minian's book is extremely powerful. Through storytelling, Minian explains how it is that individuals held in immigrant detention in the United States can be denied constitutional rights. Through meticulous research and compelling storytelling, Minian exposes the pervasive injustice that has plagued the detention system for decades.One of the most disturbing revelations is Minian’s examination of the lack of fundamental legal protections for detainees. Immigrant arrivals can be held in American detention centers deep within the country but the law "imagines" them as never having arrived in the country. This means that detainees can be subjected to indefinite detention, denied access to legal counsel, and held in deplorable conditions without due process. This stark portrayal underscores the profound human rights violations that occur within the detention system.
