Join legal experts to discuss how Houses of Worship can best support immigrant communities during this time of increased immigration enforcement. We will discuss current trends in immigration enforcement (including the rescission of the Sensitive Locations Memo), best practices and the rights of Houses of Worship that minister to and serve immigrant communities (including constitutional rights and rights under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act), and an overview of legal services for immigrants (in New York City and Long Island).

Kyle Barron, Staff Attorney, The Legal Aid Society
Alina Das, Professor and Co-Director, NYU Immigrant Rights Clinic
Jessica Greenberg, Legal Director, Central American Refugee Center (CARECEN)
Elizabeth Platt, Director, The Law, Rights, and Religion Project at Columbia Law School
