The Complexities of Immigration and DEI Policies

This chapter explores the recent controversial immigration enforcement actions by ICE, particularly a raid in Newark that affected both undocumented residents and American citizens. It critically examines the implications of such actions in light of the 14th Amendment, alongside the historical context of deportation rates and the impact of current administration policies. Additionally, the chapter discusses the contentious nature of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, questioning their effectiveness and the backlash they often provoke, particularly in military and law enforcement settings.
