Join us on Wednesday, March 5th from 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM in TNH 2.123 for our Immigration Attorneys and Organizers Panel! This panel will introduce students to the work that immigration attorneys and organizers do, especially looking at how that work will change under this new administration. We want to provide a space for people interested in the immigration clinic or immigration law broadly, people who want to know more about the overlap with activists, and those concerned about the future of immigrant rights. Free food provided!

In March 2007, the ACLU and University of Texas Law Immigration Clinic filed lawsuits on behalf of 26 immigrant children, challenging their illegal detention at the Hutto facility (right outside of Austin) and seeking their release and improved conditions. The Least Of These chronicles the successful legal challenge to the prison-like conditions where families were held. Barbara Hines, founder and then-director of the Immigration Clinic at Texas Law, and Andrea Meza, former Immigration Counsel at the Government Accountability Project and Director of Family Detention Services at RAICES, will be joining us for a discussion after the screening. Free food will be provided!
