Back in the United States, as anti-immigrant hate speech is expected to be a centerpiece of the RNC, a new report by Human Rights Watch and the Drug Policy Alliance reveals that the U.S. deports thousands of immigrants every year for drug offenses, many of which are no longer penalized under state law, including marijuana-related offenses. The groups say that between 2002 and 2020, half a million immigrants were deported — policies that have torn apart families and destabilized communities.
