This paper analyses the spatialities and temporalities of a U.S. migrant detention centre, to demonstrate the entanglement of migrant exclusion with dehumanisation and racialisation. I examine spatial orderings such as isolation, segregation, and regulated mobilities in detention alongside the arbitrary and deadening tempos and rhythms of detention. I find patterns of inclusionary exclusion through which the “consent” of detained people to their own deportation is conditioned by dehumanising spatio-temporalities. These patterns are the product of the highly standardised, regulated, and ordered spatio-temporalities of detention. I ultimately argue that the spatial and temporal ordering of detention, in all of its standardisation, is a racialising project that rationalises exclusion and dehumanisation, placing responsibility for degradation, deportation, and even premature death, upon those in detention.

移民拘留的时空排序：排斥、等级和人为处置

本文分析了美国移民拘留中心的空间和时间，以展示移民排斥与非人化和种族化的纠缠。我研究了空间秩序，例如拘留中的隔离、隔离和受管制的流动，以及拘留的任意和令人窒息的节奏和节奏。我发现包容性排斥的模式通过这种方式，被拘留者“同意”被驱逐出境受到非人化的时空限制。这些模式是高度标准化、规范化和有序的拘留时空性的产物。我最终认为，拘留的空间和时间顺序，就其所有标准化而言，是一个种族化的项目，它使排斥和非人化合理化，将堕落、驱逐甚至过早死亡的责任归于被拘留者。
