Unchecked: The Growing Use and Misuse of Executive Powers
HIAS Pennsylvania Zoom
What power does the U.S. president really have and what happens when that power goes too far?
In honor of Presidents’ Day, join HIAS PA to learn how executive authority is intended to function within a system of checks and balances, and how immigration law has always been a tool for executive authority abuse. Learn some surprising truths about what is actually legal, what needs to change and how to make those changes.
Please note that this program will be held virtually at 12:00 PM EST on Thursday, February 19th – after Presidents’ Day.
HIAS PA’s Executive Director, Cathryn Miller-Wilson, will be joined by Constitutional scholar Professor Peter J. Spiro. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions.
This program is part of a series hosted by HIAS PA that addresses the current challenges immigrants are facing and ways that you can help your immigrant neighbors.
