From radical attempts to end birthright citizenship to mass detentions at Guantanamo, President Trump has made persecuting immigrants a cornerstone of his first weeks in office. In this event, Professors Ana Raquel Minian and Amanda Frost will examine the long history of attacks on immigrants and how they weaken rights and protections for us all.

Amanda Frost, author of You Are Not American: Citizenship Stripping from Dred Scott to the Dreamers, Professor of Law at the University of Virginia School of Law
Ana Raquel Minian, author of In the Shadow of Liberty: The Invisible History of Immigrant Detention, Professor of History at Stanford University
