Immigration, Enforcement, & Human Rights with Kica Matos

Join us for a candid conversation with Kica Matos, President of the National Immigration Law Center, on the realities of U.S. immigration policy today.

From ICE enforcement practices and detention policy to ongoing legal challenges and federal reform efforts, this timely program will examine how immigration policy is being shaped – and contested – in real time, and what it means for communities, the rule of law, and our nation’s future.
