What's Going On? U.S Immigration Enforcement - Human Rights Violations - Community Harm
Co-hosted by Health and Human Rights Certificate.
As immigration enforcement and policy decisions unfold across U.S. cities and towns, their impacts extend far beyond immigration systems—shaping access to health care, community safety, family stability, and fundamental human rights.
Join us for an urgent conversation as Dr. Thoại Ngô speaks with Lee Gelernt, Attorney with the ACLU Immigrants’ Rights Project, at the intersection of immigration law, human rights, and public health.
A leading public interest litigator, Gerlernt has argued landmark cases before the U.S. Supreme Court and testified before Congress. Drawing on decades of litigation defending asylum seekers and challenging systemic rights violations, he will examine how current policy choices shape lived realities, explore the legal and ethical dimensions of immigration enforcement, and discuss what scholars, students, practitioners, and academic institutions can do in response.
