Book Talk: Banned: Immigration Enforcement in the Time of Trump

Please join the UCLA Center for the Study of International Migration on Friday, November 13, 2020 at 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM Pacific Time, in a conversation online (over Zoom) with Professor Shoba Sivaprasad Wadhia, the book author of Banned: Immigration Enforcement in the Time of Trump. Register here.

Within days of taking office, President Donald J. Trump published or announced changes to immigration law and policy. These changes have profoundly shaken the lives and well-being of immigrants and their families, many of whom have been here for decades, and affected the work of the attorneys and advocates who represent or are themselves part of the immigrant community. Banned examines the tool of discretion, or the choice a government has to protect, detain, or deport immigrants, and describes how the Trump administration has wielded this tool in creating and executing its immigration policy.

We look forward to discussing these changes in immigration law and policy, along with new reforms to anticipate in a Biden administration.
