Biographical Note

Lawrence Gipe is an American painter and Assistant Professor of 2D Studies at the University of Arizona School Of Art. Gipe also works closely with the End Streamline Coalition which is a group of organizations, community groups, and individuals dedicated to ending the Operation Streamline program in Tucson, AZ. This program began in the United States Border Patrol's Del Rio sector in west Texas and spread across the United States – Mexico border. Operation Streamline mandates that undocumented immigrants crossing the border be prosecuted through the federal criminal justice system rather than the civil immigration system as had been the previous procedure. Trials under the Operation Streamline program have been criticized for their expediency, excessive prison sentences, and for prosecuting detainees en masse. This project was funded in part by the Confluencenter for Creative Inquiry at the University of Arizona.
