Since January, the second Trump administration has made significant changes to the way immigration enforcement is handled in the United States. To provide insight into these developments, we were joined by incredible speakers from our BBB constituencies:

• Ret. Chief Michael Tupper, Marshalltown, IA Police Department
• Stewart Verdery, Monument Advocacy, Former DHS Assistant Secretary for Policy and Planning
• Matthew Soerens, VP of Policy and Advocacy, World Relief
• Jeff Wasden, President and CEO, State Business Executives

Together, our panel of experts took a deep dive into the executive orders, court rulings, and legislative efforts that have transformed the immigration landscape over the last seven months. From the impact on public safety and trust from 287(g) agreements, to the economic impact of shrinking our immigrant workforce, these changes have affected the law enforcement, national security, faith, and business sectors. Watch the webinar to hear more from our experts!

Stay committed and hopeful,

Andrea
