Hausman Family Brunch

David Hausman will be here to talk about the work that he and his colleagues do at the ACLU's national immigrants' rights project and how that work has changed since President Trump has taken office. In particular, what it has been like litigating against Trump's Muslim Ban and family separation policies; retelling some clients' stories. Unfortunately, the ban and separation policies are only the most visible elements of the U.S.'s draconian immigration enforcement system; discussions will include lesser-known, but equally brutal, policies that they are working to end.
