Behind Closed Doors

Black Migrants and the hidden Injustices of U.S. Immigration Courts

“I thought America was better than this. I thought America was a country that respects human rights,” said a Black immigrant interviewed for the Ohio Immigrant Alliance’s new report, “Behind Closed Doors: Black Migrants and the Hidden Injustices of U.S. Immigration Courts.” Authored by Dr. Nana Afua Y. Brantuo, PhD, “Behind Closed Doors” is the capstone paper from a multi-year research series about Black people’s experiences in U.S. immigration courts.
