This CLE-eligible webinar, hosted by NAPABA and led by the Chairs of NAPABA's Immigration Law Committee, will deliver an overview of the most pressing changes and challenges in immigration law and policy implemented during this second Trump Administration.  The webinar will analyze the sweeping policy enactments and executive orders issued to date as well offer insight into the day-to-day changes impacting practitioners as they represent clients before U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, other DHS components, and immigration courts. 

Our experienced panel will share their insights and their unique perspectives which range from big law to small firm, and non-profit immigration practices.  We will also discuss certain policy developments that specifically affect Asian American immigrant communities.
