We will delve into the evolving landscape of immigration over the past decade. This talk will explore the historical forces behind recent reforms and restrictions, the impact of new policies under the Trump administration, and the shifting realities of asylum and border dynamics. Our speaker, Lucas Guttentag, will also examine key legal battles and discuss forward-thinking solutions to navigate these complex challenges. 

We see madness from Washington: Grad students snatched off the street, a judge getting arrested for delaying an ICE arrest, tender age citizens being deported. What the heck is happening? Don’t miss this timely and thought-provoking conversation on one of the most pressing issues of our time!
