Epilogue

Abstract

The epilogue briefly describes the formation of the group Free Them All San Diego, formed in 2020 to support the release of detained migrants at high risk of contracting COVID-19. The group gathered testimony from many people impacted by the practice of migrant detention, including many stories that countered the devaluation of migrant lives. Accompaniment with migrants means challenging carceral eugenics. The epilogue argues that to dismantle eugenics means abolishing entire systems of incarceration, institutionalization, and detention that exposes migrants to illness, injury, premature aging, and premature death. To end state-sponsored eugenics requires freeing them all.
