Prevention Through Deterrence: A Reflection on Intentional Violence Committed at the U.S.-Mexico Border

Most people who have been paying attention know that there has been an ongoing crisis at the United States-Mexico border. Jason De León, anthropologist and Executive Director of the Undocumented Migration Project (UMP), works to humanize the victims of this crisis and to educate readers about the intentionality of the violence committed against them in his book The Land of Open Graves. The book, published in 2015, vividly illustrates the violence migrants face and calls attention to the conscious policy decisions made by our government which contribute to the continued dehumanization and inhumane treatment of these individuals.

I remember reading a story in 2018 about the U.S. Border Patrol intentionally sabotaging water left in the desert for migrants. It aligns with much of what De León spoke of in his book. He cites a line from a 1994 Border Patrol policy plan which anticipated violence increasing as a result of their Prevention Through Deterrence (PTD) initiative. PTD pushed migrants away from safer, populated areas and forced them to cross through some of Arizona’s most hostile desert territory. In the Sonoran Desert, the animals, temperature, and terrain could mete out punishment against the migrants. De León says there is strong evidence that Border Patrol watches these crossings remotely, waiting extended periods of time to let the environment grind people down before officers apprehended them.

How can we reconcile this treatment of migrants with the United States’ reputation as being the “land of the free” and a place of endless opportunity? De León addresses this as well. He describes a state of exception where multiple conditions are met which allow the deaths of thousands to be considered acceptable. The first condition is heightened state power due to a state of emergency. The second condition is the suspension of normal processes or applications of law, where normal protections do not apply. The third condition is the government being freed from its usual behavioral constraints. These conditions have all been met and, while in the state of exception, the U.S. government is free to adhere to what De León calls a “bare life” concept. Migrant lives hold little, if any, value and their deaths are viewed as no more consequential than the death of an animal or plant in the desert. I am reminded of the relatively recent “stand your ground” laws popping up in states all over the U.S. where, if someone perceives themselves as being in mortal danger, their own rights to take another person’s life are increased, while the value of that other person’s life is diminished. Whether or not there is any true danger present in that situation, what matters is the person’s perception of danger is what the law takes into account.

Unfortunately, the United States has a long history of utilizing a state of exception to commit violence against people who are perceived to be threats. It happened during World War II with the creation of internment camps for those of Japanese descent – even those who were U.S. citizens. It happened when we forced Native Americans onto reservations, breaking previously agreed upon treaties when they no longer served U.S. interests. Today, we still have Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention camps where thousands of migrants are held without any right to due process.

Jason De León opened his book with a story from his field journal where he and some colleagues were searching for human remains in the scorching desert. The lead guide, Bob Kee, had previously called police when he found signs of a dead body, but law enforcement was not motivated to conduct a thorough survey of the area. Though Kee knew further searching of the area on his own would qualify as disturbing a crime scene, he continued hunting for the body parts police missed. What they eventually found were remnants of a horrific death, with hardly any evidence left to show for it. De León wrote, “The desert has already started to erase this person, along with whatever violence and horror she or he experienced.” Still, he continues his work with UMP to find any signs of individuals who did not survive the trek toward freedom, because someone, somewhere, is still looking for that loved one.

Uvalde's Missing Links

Uvalde’s Missing Links

Nonsense being spewed down the pipeline cannot be consumed. Free thinkers are the bane of the establishment’s existence. There are those that believe the spoonfed nonsense and think, “What is happening to our country?” How do you succeed in reaching the masses? Dumb it down so that everyone can understand it. Because the reality of it is, many people are not intellectual enough to think…

Holds up a water gun

I’m the main blog behind fucked-up-and-evil-science, I saw ur reblog tags, (of the trade offer meme) talking about an oc named Charles, infodump about them Now, I would love to hear about who they are

(all /nf, I just kinda wanna read someone ramble about their oc LMAO)

HI ACCEPT CHARLES ENTIRE BEING

SO. to understand the Charles, I gotta give a bit of background abt the part of the world he lives in-

Basically Charles lives in a bordertown, which is part of a system of towns situated along the sector walls. The walls are there to seperate the sectors from the dead zone, which is basically a tectonic plate for corrupted and dying magic (in this world it's a bit of post post apocalypse)

The deadzones effects mostly involve corrupting sentient life into monsters, through a means similar to radiation poisoning(very graphic.) but the bordertowns are also receiving this magic irradiation! Because, as mentioned before, the dead zones move, similarly to tectonic plates in real life. However, this effect is much lesser than it is in the midst of deadzones, so the townspeople are not all given poisoning effects.

Now! The magic in this world is also dictated by sentient emotions, and humans are more susceptible to it- When a sentient being suffers a strong enough mental break there is a chance

THIS! is where Charles lore starts! Charles was an average bordertown citizen, he worked in an information job for the borderpatrol (soldiers to protect the walls and collect samples from the deadzones) Charles job was to assign soldiers to teams. This is emotionally stressful for him at first, because he makes friends with the soldiers only to see them repeatedly die out in the deadzones or succumb to other ailments.

Charles then has a relevation! He doesn't have to feel- Anything at all- He picks up drinking. This habit intensifies more as time goes on- he's eventually trapped in his own cycle of pushing everything away in favor of simple false pleasures-

Eventually this collapses in on itself and Charles suffers a mental break, loosing himself to his alcoholism and simply pretending every day to be completely happy. His coworkers admired his positive outlook on every situation-

Upon one day suffering in a sober state, he finds an advert for human testing- and calls the number to sign up. He believes himself to be more useful dead than alive in the moment and throws himself into instead, becomjnf another missing resident of the town. It's not out of the ordinary and life moves on without him

Charles meanwhile. Is tested on and used as a test subject for the effects of his magic irradiation levels. While there he suffers a contortion due to the pent up stress of his emotional state, and becomes....

THIS GUY!

Charles contortion is modeled after a drinky bird and tales the texture of plastic. When the experiment lab was done with him they declined to cull him as is usually done to contortions(because they tend to be insentient and dangerous to other people)

Charles who is different from his former self, but still sentient on some level, then roams the towns, often showing up in bars to drink and indulge in what the original Charles wanted. That being merrymaking in what he perceives as a happier world. He wanders the bordertown living his pretend life. Truly merely a shell of who he used to be, if confronted with attempts to make him see reality for what it is, sorrows included, he becomes hostile.

BUT THAT'S CHARLES! Enjoy him<3 thanks for prompting this rant :]
