Port of No Return: Enemy Alien Internment in World War II New Orleans.

The main focus of the article is Marilyn Grace Miller's book *Port of No Return: Enemy Alien Internment in World War II New Orleans*, which examines the history of Camp Algiers, a World War II internment facility in New Orleans used to detain enemy aliens, particularly those of German and Italian origin, under the US government's Enemy Alien Control Program. Miller highlights how this lesser-known aspect of wartime detention reveals broader issues about the classification and treatment of detainees, including refugees and displaced persons, and the involvement of aid organizations and diplomats. The book also connects historical internment practices to contemporary detention policies affecting noncitizen populations, arguing that World War II precedents continue to influence current immigration enforcement. Additionally, Miller discusses efforts to preserve the Camp Algiers site as a historic place to acknowledge this complex history.
