Immigration Nation is a 2020 documentary television miniseries directed by Christina Clusiau and Shaul Schwarz. The series consists of footage filmed from 2017 to 2020 of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency's work during the Trump era.[1][2]

The documentary has been described by at least one film reviewer as "showing the inhumanity and unconscionable cruelty of [the] agency's tactics."[3]

Prior to release, filmmakers were faced with legal threats; ICE sought to delay the release until after the 2020 United States elections.[4][5]
