Asian Americans are the fastest growing racial group in the United States, the majority of whom are immigrants or the children of immigrants. The Trump Administration plans to undertake mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, and AAPI individuals make up 10% of all undocumented people. This event will focus on the history of how we got to this moment, the potential implementation of this policy, and how it may impact the Asian American community.
Light refreshments will be served. This event is co-sponsored by the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø AAPI Caucus.
