In \u003cem\u003eHow to Close a Camp\u003c\/em\u003e, award-winning journalist and translator John Washington offers a galvanizing, clear-eyed case for why we must close these camps--and how to do it.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In spite of the decades-long growth of immigrant detention, communities have been fighting back against camps--and winning.
