This session will focus on how the courts can play a pivotal role in restoring and protecting the rights of immigrants, Latinos, and marginalized communities, particularly in light of recent changes at both the federal and state levels. With policies that threaten to undermine civil rights, from immigration enforcement actions to restrictive state laws, judicial advocacy has become essential in challenging discriminatory practices and ensuring equal protection under the law. Panelists will discuss key legal battles, the role of the judiciary in defending Latino rights, and how courts can act as a safeguard against erosion of these rights. This conversation will highlight the importance of judicial action in upholding justice and equity for all communities.
