As of 2015, more than 1.8 million immigrants were in removal proceedings, awaiting their turn to appear in immigration courts. However, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) cannot detain all 1.8 million immigrants simultaneously, mostly because ICE's budget only funds 34,000 detention beds on a given day. Therefore, immigrants who do not qualify for mandatory detention are enrolled in the Intensive Supervision Appearance Program (ISAP), which enforces the use of a Global Position System (GPS) ankle monitor. We know that some U.S. immigration policies are associated with immigrant ill health, but scant research exists on how being visually marked and placed under constant surveillance affects physical and mental health as well as health care access. This research will show the impact of the GPS ankle monitoring on the mental and physical health of immigrants. Project findings will help inform immigration and public health policies. In the U.S. today, immigrants who do not qualify for mandatory detention are enrolled in Alternative to Detention Programs (ATDP) and must wear a GPS ankle monitor. The project uses ethnographic observations in multiple settings and in-depth, semi-structured interviews with immigrants wearing the GPS ankle monitor. Although these people are no longer in detention, they are still under surveillance via the ankle monitors. The project will document the social, material, mental, and physical effects of the GPS ankle monitors, such as anxiety and difficulty finding housing. This research project makes a theoretical contribution to studies of Latino immigrant populations, while also documenting the effects of surveillance on individuals.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

截至 2015 年，超过 180 万移民正在接受递解出境程序，等待轮到移民法庭出庭。然而，移民和海关执法局 (ICE) 无法同时拘留所有 180 万移民，主要是因为 ICE 的预算只为某一天的 34,000 个拘留床位提供资金。因此，不符合强制拘留条件的移民将参加外观强化监管计划（ISAP），该计划强制使用全球定位系统（GPS）脚踝监视器。我们知道美国的一些移民政策与移民健康状况不佳有关，但关于视觉标记和持续监视如何影响身心健康以及医疗保健获取的研究很少。这项研究将展示GPS脚踝监测对移民心理和身体健康的影响。 项目研究结果将有助于为移民和公共卫生政策提供信息。 在当今的美国，不符合强制拘留条件的移民会参加拘留替代计划 (ATDP)，并且必须佩戴 GPS 脚踝监视器。该项目采用多种环境下的民族志观察，并对佩戴 GPS 脚踝监测器的移民进行深入、半结构化的访谈。尽管这些人已不再被拘留，但他们仍然受到脚踝监视器的监视。该项目将记录 GPS 脚踝监视器对社会、物质、精神和身体的影响，例如焦虑和寻找住房困难。该研究项目为拉丁裔移民人口的研究做出了理论贡献，同时也记录了监视对个人的影响。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
