Disappearing Through Law: Sovereign Violence and the Deportation Regime

Abstract [en]

Following Donald J. Trump’s reelection, his administration has pursued aggressive deportation policies targeting noncitizens, often bypassing due process and constitutional protections. Notably, many migrants have been deported not to their home countries, but to El Salvador’s maximum-security prison, CECOT. This thesis examines these practices through the lens of necropolitics (Mbembe) and the state of exception (Agamben), arguing that such actions reflect a sovereign logic that renders certain lives expendable. Through legal analysis and case studies, particularly Kilmar Armando Abrego García and the detentions of Merwil Alberto Gutiérrez Flores and Andry José Hernández Romero, this work explores how emergency powers are used to suspend rights, criminalize migration, and extend the United States' carceral authority beyond its borders.
