Join Valencia Herrera, Managing Attorney at The Grande Law Firm and Adonia Simpson, Deputy Director of Policy and Pro Bono at the ABA Commission on Immigration, for a discussion exploring the Trump administration’s directive requiring noncitizens over the age of 14 to register with the government. Learn about how the historical context of registration, who is already considered registered, and how the registry places many individuals in a difficult position—facing either the risk of apprehension by immigration authorities or severe penalties for noncompliance, including fines, jail time, and deportation. This important conversation explores how advocates can help clients navigate this new requirement, and examines the broader implications of the registration.
CRSJ, in collaboration with the DEI Center and its entities, the Center for Public Interest Law and its entities, the Young Lawyers Division, and other Section Divisions and Forums, is launching a new rapid-response project that will provide videos, resources, and other information breaking down key legal developments by explaining specific actions the government is taking, the legality of these actions, its impact on civil rights and daily life, and steps attorneys and advocates can take to protect our communities.
