{"p"=>"In recent years, scholars have called out the nefarious ways in which crimmigration practices—the day-to-day tactics that vet immigrants into the criminal justice system— have taken a toll on Latine communities in the interior parts of the United States. However, while most of this work has uncovered the impact on predominantly Mexican communities, very little is known about what happens to Salvadorans when gang enforcement becomes the dragnet to detain, deport, and deter Central American immigrants from local areas where their presence is strong. One such area is Long Island, New York, where Salvadorans’ experiences with anti-gang efforts show how they have become the collateral damage. In this article, I use qualitative data collected throughout Trump’s first term as president to argue that gang enforcement is weaponized against Salvadorans to expand the ‘crimmigration’ system. This leads to more ‘legal violence’—what Menjivar and Abrego (2012) conceptualized as a process of cumulative state-sanctioned precarities—and sustains a White Supremacist racial project (Provine & Doty, 2011)."}
