Virtual Training: Current Immigration Landscape and How Attorneys Can Help
February 12, 2025 at 4pm ET / 1pm PT | Virtual (Zoom) | CLE Credit
Posted January 27, 2025
Background & Context
On Day 1, the Trump Administration issued a series of Executive Orders and memos aimed at dramatically attacking immigrants. These attacks have targeted the right to seek protection in the U.S., access to legal counsel for immigrants facing removal, and even birthright citizenship -- undermining the fundamental protections that all Americans rely upon.
Join VECINA and We The Action, with the support of the Beverly Hills Bar Association, for an overview of what these changes mean, and how pro bono attorneys can join the nationwide efforts to stand in solidarity with immigrants by protecting the immigration system and the rule of law in the U.S.
The Beverly Hills Bar Association will sponsor CLE credits for this webinar.
