Muñiz will specifically focus on the invisible information systems affirming a three-fold punitive system incorporating digital surveillance, immigration control and gang punitive enforcement. She also will describe how interlocked social control agencies, including federal, state, local and transnational police, create multiple digital borderlands, which become instruments of border militarization.
