Hing includes histories of Mexican immigration, African migration and the Asian exclusion era, all of which reveal ICE abuse and a history of often forgotten racist immigration laws. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile ultimately arguing for the abolishment of ICE, Hing advocates for change now. With 50 years of law practice and litigation, Hing has represented non-citizens--from gang members to asylum seekers fleeing violence, and from individuals in ICE detention to families at the US southern border seeking refuge. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHing maps out major reforms to the immigration system, making an urgent call for the adoption of a radical, racial justice lens.
