**THIS TALK HAS BEEN POSTPONED. MORE INFO TO COME.**

How has immigration detention become thinkable, and therefore administratively doable and routine, in Canada today? What are the material consequences of this normalization for migrants? In this talk, Falak Mujtaba traces immigration detention as a colonial continuity, rooted in imperial and settler-colonial regimes of containment that persist in contemporary immigration and border control as well as the forms of resistance that contest it.
