State violence against illicit bodies makes unwanted migrant labor disappear

Evidence

In the end, state technologies of violence reify sovereign power through multiple registers of formal and informal violence that function to eliminate and purge bodies deemed illicit from the territorial boundaries of the nation. This has serious consequences for patterns of migration and labor diaspora within the global economy. Through multiple registers of sovereign power, racism and violence have become a means to make unwanted labor disappear. — Junaid Rana, Terrifying Muslims, 874
