Broken Hope: Deportation and the Road Home

What if you were forced to pack your belongings and leave your family, friends, career, home, and life behind? That is what deportation is. This issue brief summarizes the new book Broken Hope: Deportation and the Road Home, a collaboration between the Ohio Immigrant Alliance (OHIA) and CLASP that highlights the experiences, hopes, and dreams of 255 people who were deported from both the United States and their loved ones. They are part of OHIA’s #ReuniteUS campaign, which seeks to change policy so that more people who were deported can return.

CLASP is deeply disturbed by a report that the White House is considering implementing even more restrictions on asylum and expanding fast-track deportation in negotiations to secure support for the supplemental foreign aid funding bill.

CLASP analyzed updated data related to Economic Justice, Healing and Well-being, and Safe Communities for youth and young adults. CLASP and New Deal for Youth began tracking this data in 2020, and even in this relatively brief period, the outlook in many of these areas has worsened over time.
