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180万移民正在撤职程序，等待轮到移民法院出庭。但是，移民和海关执法（ICE）不能同时拘留所有180万移民，这主要是因为ICE的预算仅在给定的一天中为34,000张拘留床提供了资金。因此，不符合强制性拘留资格的移民被录取了强化监督外观计划（ISAP），该计划强制使用全球位置系统（GPS）踝关节监视器。我们知道，某些美国移民政策与移民不良健康有关，但是关于视觉标记和持续监视如何影响身体和心理健康以及卫生保健的研究很少。这项研究将显示GPS踝关节监测对移民身心健康的影响。 项目发现将有助于向移民和公共卫生政策提供信息。 在当今的美国，不具备强制性拘留资格的移民已入学替代拘留计划（ATDP），并且必须佩戴GPS踝关节监视器。该项目在多种环境和深入的半结构化访谈中使用人种学观察，对戴着GPS脚踝显示器的移民进行了访谈。尽管这些人不再被拘留，但他们仍在通过脚踝监视器进行监视。该项目将记录GPS踝关节监测器的社会，物质，心理和身体影响，例如焦虑和难以找到住房。该研究项目对拉丁裔移民人群的研究做出了理论上的贡献，同时还记录了监视对个人的影响。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子和更广泛影响的评估来通过评估来支持的。
