User:Amanzo2/Immigration detention in the United States/Leonid Libenzon Peer Review

Hello Annabel!

Immigration detention is an enormously important, but controversial topic, and therefore, I am happy to see that you decided to deal with it. Indeed, a considerable number of immigrants face detention and have no alternative other than to go through this process. That is why it is crucial to write about this social problem, and by doing so, enhance its understanding.

It is important to pay special attention to how accurately you identify some downsides of the Wikipedia article. The current state of the article leaves a lot to be desired. More specifically, the article comprises many long and unreadable paragraphs. With information being structured in this way, many crucial aspects of the problem are inclined to be overlooked by those who are exploring this article. For this reason, I encourage you to think about how you can restructure the main body so as to make it more informative.

Regarding your intention to update the statistics, I think it is always of paramount importance to keep up with up-to-date data to achieve a fresh understanding of a particular issue. That is why I completely support this front of your editing work.

One more striking feature of the plan is that you are intent on discussing how much different the phenomenon of immigration detention is for women and transgender people. It is great that you attempt to do away with the heteronormativity of the narration of this problem.

Nonetheless, I also recommend you discuss not only women and transgender people, but also homosexual, lesbian, and bisexual people’s experiences within the context of immigration detention. I am inclined to believe that it is always a conceptual row, that should be preserved.

When it comes to adding a section devoted to the impact of COVID-19 on detention rates and detainees in the United States, I find this aspect to be extremely valuable, and it is great that you noticed that the discussion of this issue is missing in the article.

Overall, I find the project of your article editing very promising and interesting. Although it is too early to assess your work, I have no doubt that your input will offer many valuable insights and contribute to the field of migration and gender studies.
