"Migrant Justice in the Age of Removal: Rights, Law, and Resistance against Territorys Exclusions details the story of Migrant Justice, a migrant rights organization led by undocumented workers in a complicated and perhaps unexpected context and site: Vermont, U.S. Migrant Justices compelling story, which includes U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcements use of a covert informant to infiltrate the group and deport key members of their community, provides a detailed analysis of the state of immigration enforcement in the country today, alongside an intimate portrait of successful modes of resistance against it. Migrant Justice has gone on to shape and improve the state of rights for migrants in Vermont and, as this book argues, across the country in these incredibly precarious times for migrant activists. This work places Migrant Justices activism within what is defined as the Age of Removal, or the last three decades in which immigration enforcement in the U.S.

has increasingly utilized enhanced enforcement mechanisms like the "order of removal," which aids in the confinement, control, and exploitation of migrants. However, Migrant Justices work fits within a growing landscape of migrant rights movements that have arisen during this time, and this book provides a crucial snapshot of their work to better understand their successful and powerful forms of organizing in these contexts. In this confluence of opposing forces, we of course see egregious abuses against migrant actors, but we also see new and progressively powerful forms of resistance that are posing a specific challenge to bordered and territorially based limitations on rights and democracy. Migrant Justices work expands rights access to actors, regardless of citizenship, which essentially works towards a deterritorialization of rights access-or the opening up of socio-political belonging to new actors"--.
