The current administration’s aggressive targeting of immigrants and refugees represents a profound moral failure that will likely be viewed by history as an unconscionable exercise in needless cruelty and fundamentally flawed policy. While the long-term judgment of these actions awaits, their immediate consequences—manifested in widespread suffering, fear, and destabilization affecting millions of lives—demand our urgent attention. This session brings together policy experts, advocates, and individuals directly impacted by these policies to assess our current position and develop effective resistance strategies. Together, we will examine approaches to counter this assault on human rights and dignity, with the goal of mobilizing collective action to revitalize the compassion and inclusivity that represent the highest ideals of American society. Moderated by Nicole Phillips, staff attorney with the Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti and a law professor at the Université de la Foundation. With: Mahjabin Khanzada of Project ANAR; Homayoon Ghanizada, Program Supervisor at Jewish Family & Community Services East Bay; Sara Kohgadai, immigration attorney and Project Coordinator with Project ANAR.
