Federal Immigration Policy Comes to Main Street: How Local Governments Are Responding to a New Era - A Webinar Hosted by GCIR

*This program is hosted by our partner, Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees (GCIR), who has extended an invitation to PNY members. Space is limited and will be granted on a first come, first served basis.*

Sanctuary policies have garnered heightened media attention since the president signed an executive order on January 25 to withhold federal funding from cities that adopt such policies. What are sanctuary The first quarter of the year is not quite over, yet seemingly every week has brought major developments in the immigration policy sphere. This month alone, the Department of Justice sued California over three recently passed 'sanctuary' laws, USCIS removed 'nation of immigrants' from their mission, and the March 5 deadline for Dreamers passed without a bill. Meanwhile, administrative changes have shifted asylum interviewing and review processes, while the Supreme Court ruled that detained immigrants have no right to a bond hearing under a 1996 immigration law. 

Join us to get up to speed on recent policy developments and learn how funders can respond.
