CUNY Law Hosts Immigration Roundtable Convened by Congresswoman Nydia M. Velázquez
Elected Officials, Community Advocates, and Policymakers Joined Forces at CUNY Law in Response to New Executive Orders
On January 31, Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez convened a roundtable on immigration at CUNY School of Law, bringing together policymakers, legal advocates, and grassroots organizers to discuss the impact of the Trump administration’s recent immigration actions. The conversation focused on strategies to protect immigrant communities amid expanded deportation efforts and increased enforcement measures.
The gathering, one of two roundtables convened by Velázquez that day, provided space for legal experts, service providers, and community organizations to coordinate responses and strengthen collective efforts in the face of shifting federal policies.
