Developed in partnership with the WSBA Rule of Law Ambassador Program
Ambassador Lunch and Learn—Legal Issues of the Day*: Immigration Enforcement: When Jurisdictions Collide
"Can they do that?” Legal professionals are getting questions—or perhaps they are even wondering themselves—as federal immigration authorities have become more visible, frequent, and forceful presences in local communities. This one-hour virtual lunch-and-learn session will focus on immigration enforcement and overlapping legal jurisdictions. Our panel of experts will discuss the interplay between federal, state, and local laws, and where conflicts are likely to arise and how they are likely to be resolved. The panel will consider questions such as: How are law-enforcement officers prepared to interact with ICE agents? What happens when Washington passes “sanctuary” laws or other limitations on federal immigration actions? Do ICE agents have total immunity? Come find out—and if you have questions for the panel, please send them ahead of time to ambassadors@wsba.org. We want to make sure our short time together is jam-packed with the information you need!
Don’t miss our other lunch-and-learn events regarding federal immigration enforcement—as it relates to Fourth Amendment rights (noon, Monday, March 30) and First/Second Amendment rights (noon, Thursday, April 2).
*The WSBA Rule of Law Ambassador Program is creating an ongoing series of lunch-and-learn events to educate and equip legal ambassadors to answer questions and be resources in their community about hot topics in the law; our goal is for all legal professionals to be ready to counter mis- and disinformation, to build trust and confidence in the legal system, and to stand ready to uphold the rule of law. Do you have a recommended topic for a lunch-and-learn event? Email ambassadors@wsba.org.
