ABSTRACT
Detention and deportation – the forced removal of non-citizens – have become the significant sanctions imposed by the current migration regime. Following a growing ‘securitization of migration’ in the past two decades, migration control is increasingly governed through the techniques and discourses used to regulate, control and remove undesired non-citizens. The removal operation is a transnational enterprise involving authorities from different states, transport companies, private security companies, deportation escorts, international networking, as well as various other private companies.
