Abstract	In elementary classrooms, teaching immigration often begins and ends at Ellis Island--without discussions of racist migration policies or engagement with current issues. Although contemporary immigration is rarely discussed with elementary students, the number of young people from immigrant and/or refugee backgrounds in the U.S. continues to rise. This exploration of Southeast Asian (SEA) deportation community defense provides opportunities for young people to understand the relationship between power, migration, and citizenship. Civic education "typically stresses allegiance to the nation" and can be "exclusionary toward linguistically and culturally diverse individuals and groups." For that reason, the suggested activities will focus on Southeast Asian deportation as a historical and contemporary example of who is included and excluded from the borders of U.S. citizenship (and why). Building on critical approaches to civic education, this article will begin by sharing essential context on Southeast Asian deportation before suggesting interactive activities that uplift this community's unheard stories.
