Our July pick: Everyone Who is Gone is Here by Jonathan Blitzer.
Join us for a powerful and eye-opening discussion of Everyone Who is Gone is Here—an unflinching look at the U.S. immigration system and the human toll of its policies, written by New Yorker staff writer Jonathan Blitzer.
Through deeply reported stories and personal narratives, Blitzer traces the lives of migrants, activists, attorneys, and policymakers navigating a system designed not for justice or compassion, but for deterrence and control. From families separated at the border to the civil servants caught between conscience and bureaucracy, this book sheds light on the moral and political consequences of America’s immigration agenda—particularly under the Trump administration.
