Complimentary Briefing

A keystone of President Trump’s campaign was the promise to intensify immigration enforcement. The first weeks of his second administration included the issuance and implementation of executive orders to begin this work. Additionally, the acting U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary issued a directive rescinding longstanding policy on refraining from immigration enforcement actions at “sensitive locations” or “protected areas,” including educational institutions. At the same time, the Attorney General at the U.S. Department of Justice issued a memo directing the Department to restrict funding to jurisdictions and organizations that support or provide services to undocumented immigrants, among other mandates. Campus counsel must advise and communicate with various constituents across campus on these rapidly evolving developments. 

Please join us for a 30-minute audio-only briefing during which NACUA member-experts, Leigh Cole and Michael Pfahl, will provide an overview of where the law stands, insights that can be gleaned from comparative realignment of immigration activities across previous administrations, and advice on how to counsel your clients now.  

This briefing is part of NACUA’s Transition Updates: The First 100 Days Series.
