March Panel: Policing Immigration
Wednesday, March 12, 2025
LWVPDX is announcing our theme for our spring Community Education series: Immigration. A polarizing and profound issue facing our nation, the series will explore how changing policies around immigration are impacting our community and our wider world.
Our March panel will start locally, with a focus on enforcement issues. Our April panel will explore national policies and humanitarian concerns.
Join us for our next Community Education program, “Policing Immigration” on Wednesday, March 12 from 7 to 8:30 pm via Zoom.
This event will provide perspectives on how local immigration enforcement is changing under President Trump. This dynamic conversation will explore changes in federal policy relating to immigration and how immigrants are being impacted in our community.
Speakers bring important professional experience to working with immigrants and developing immigration policy. Isa Peña of Innovation Law Lab and Elliot Young of Lewis & Clark College will be joined by speakers to be confirmed.
