Join us for a timely panel featuring UC faculty and local activists whose work explores the lived experiences of migrants navigating enforcement, exclusion, and resilience. Through scholarship on sanctuary-making, immigration surveillance, and the violence of deportation, this event brings together leading voices to examine the moral, racial, and institutional dynamics shaping migration today.
