Join us for a candid conversation with Kica Matos, President of the National Immigration Law Center, on the realities of U.S. immigration policy today – and how these decisions resonate far beyond our borders.

From ICE enforcement practices and detention policy to ongoing legal challenges and federal reform efforts, this timely program will examine how immigration policy is being shaped – and contested – in real time, and what it means for communities, the rule of law, and our nation’s future.

A partnership between the World Affairs Council of Connecticut and Hartford Public Library.

When: Thursday, February 19 | 6:00pm – 7:00pm
Doors open 5:30pm
Where: Hartford Public Library’s Downtown Library, Center for Contemporary Culture
500 Main Street, Hartford CT
Tickets: No charge
