This piece is a personal essay drawing parallels between 1930s Nazi bureaucratic language around deportation and today's U.S. immigration detention system, built around the author's reading of W.G. Sebald's novel 'Austerlitz.'

The author cites the existence of more than 220 private, for-profit detention facilities and recounts personally encountering a family in a Laredo immigration prison decades ago.

No new factual claims about current policy, agency actions, or numbers are presented beyond the author's historical analogy and personal anecdote.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.
