UC Irvine Joe C. Wen School of Population and Public Health Associate Professor Alana M.W. LeBrón and others write, “In this brief, we discuss the population health costs of US immigration policies, which can be largely described as exclusionary, over the course of the last several decades. … We pay specific attention to enforcement actions such as detentions, raids, and deportations. We also describe the health-related social and economic costs of immigration enforcement actions.”
