The Krannert Art Museum will host a panel entitled “Borderlands: Resisting ICE in the Midwest.” The panel will take place on September 29 at 7 p.m.
From the press release:
Under President Obama’s administration there has been a disturbing increase in the deportation of immigrants, especially those from Central America and Mexico.
Champaign, as the second largest immigrant city in Illinois after Chicago, has an immigrant population that is greatly affected by punitive immigration policies implemented by ICE (Immigration & Customs Enforcement).
Join us for an open forum in which community organizers, leaders, and activists will speak about the ways in which their respective communities are affected by, and directly resisting ICE.
Panelists include: Dr. Brian Dolinar, Jesse Hoyt, Lucia Maldonado and Cristina Lucio
