Netflix's six-part docuseries offers unprecedented field access to ICE and builds a portrait of an immigration system in need of compassionate overhaul. Read THR's review of ImmigrationNation:
Immigration Nation
The series is assembled from the thousand hours of footage Clusiau and Schwartz filmed while embedded with different tiers of ICE from 2017 to 2020. Given the repetitive stress reactions caused by each use of the "I'm just following orders" cop-out, it's a minor frustration that the directors never get anywhere near the people actually giving those orders; Donald Trump and Kirstjen Nielsen loom in press conferences and public events, but not as interview subjects.
The directors, who also serve as part of the series' multi-person filming and editing team, build their argument in a way that isn't immediately obvious and occasionally feels protracted, but cinches tighter as the docuseries proceeds. The first episode unfolds primarily between New York and El Paso and honestly it's more even-handed that I think ICE had any right to expect.
The first episode or two keep falling back on that all-too-familiar refrain, "We're not opposed to people coming into the country, but they have to do it the right way." From there, the series goes through one case after another after another after another where "doing it the right way" or "doing it the legal way" didn't work. You could probably find some conservative sympathies for the case of deported veterans.
