ICE Making People Disappear
Professor Jacqueline Stevens, UC Santa Barbara:
"If you don't have enough evidence to charge someone criminally but you think he's illegal, we can make him disappear." Those chilling words were spoken by James Pendergraph, then executive director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Office of State and Local Coordination, at a conference of police and sheriffs in August 2008."

We speak with the author of the two-part investigation, Jacqueline Stevens.
