On Fire Talk: Mass Deportation as Racial Engineering

Ahilan Arulanantham will describe the role race discrimination has played in immigration and refugee policy and how that history continues to play out in the current struggle over the Temporary Protected Status program, which allows individuals to remain in the United States because of unsafe conditions in their home countries. Audience Q&A and a reception will follow.

Ahilan T. Arulanantham is Professor from Practice and Co-Director of the Center for Immigration Law and Policy (CILP) at the UCLA School of Law. Ahilan teaches in the law school and also maintains an active litigation practice. Prior to joining UCLA, Ahilan was Senior Counsel at the ACLU in Los Angeles, where he worked for nearly twenty years.
