The shift in immigration policy at the federal level has been swift and dramatic, particularly as it pertains to deportation policy. The president has attempted to leverage war-time authorities to deport people to foreign prisons without following due process, has singled out students who are non-citizens to deportation, and has even put U.S. citizen children on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportation flights. This aggressive approach to border enforcement has had significant consequences for all immigrants, particularly those from Latino communities across the country.
On June 25, join Governance Studies at Brookings for a webinar to examine the impact that this new punitive policy climate is having on immigrant communities across the country from the perspective of Latino immigrants. Experts in immigration policy and the Latino community will discuss findings from their recent national survey of Latino immigrants and elaborate on the major themes. Panelists will also provide insight into how the “chilling effect” associated with fear of deportation will impact all Americans, including immigrants, among other important findings from their study.
Viewers can submit questions for speakers by emailing events@brookings.edu or on X/Twitter @BrookingsGov using #ImmigrationPolicy.
