Sanctuary policies, praised for safeguarding immigrants, paradoxically expand ICE's influence. Anthropologist Peter Mancina shares insights from his book "On the Side of ICE" and his experience with New Jersey police force.

Hear him on today's episode of NPR's Code Switch:

Although local police are not required to enforce federal civil immigration law, ON THE SIDE OF ICE shows how they nonetheless act as voluntary reinforcements for ICE

Read my interview with The Conversation on my new book On the Side of ICE: Policing Immigrants in a Sanctuary State here:

Are sanctuary policing policies no more than a public relations facade?
In a new book based on hours of body-cam footage, a legal scholar shows how local police in sanctuary jurisdictions still help ICE − and why true non-cooperation is nearly impossible to enforce.

My #NewBook On The Side of ICE: Policing Immigrants in a Sanctuary State (@NYUpress.bsky.social) is finally out! In it, I narrate events when local police both implement #sanctuarycity policies and still assist ICE as captured by body-cam videos.
