“Lives in the Balance: Immigration in a Divided America” brought together nearly 100 journalists from six universities to document the reach of that system from inside the nation’s immigration courts — backlogged for years, whipsawed by confusion and chaos amid policy changes and pressure to move faster — and beyond. In addition to the Howard Center at ASU’s Cronkite School, the journalism schools involved in this project are the Newhouse School at Syracuse University, University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s College of Journalism, University of Southern California’s Annenberg School, Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism, and the University of Florida’s College of Journalism.
