Abstract
The dramatic rise in United States (U.S.) deportations demands a deeper understanding of their human costs. Qualitative research on the psychosocial impact of deportation is crucial to inform evidence-based policy decisions and mitigate the potential harms of these practices. This study examines the perceptions and experiences of Mexican nationals following deportation from the U.S., with a focus on the psychological and social consequences within a human rights framework. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with 11 participants (nine men, two women) who resided in the U.S. for an average of 18 years, the study identifies key themes, including the violation of human rights and the traumatic nature of detention and deportation. These findings underscore the urgent need for policies and interventions that prioritize the well-being of individuals affected by deportation, including their families and communities in both the sending and receiving locations.
