U.S. Immigration Enforcement: Making Sense of Immigration in 2025

This program provides attorneys with a foundational overview of U.S. immigration law and the evolving enforcement landscape. With recent shifts in immigration policy and increased funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), it's essential for legal professionals to stay current on enforcement priorities and agency practices. Drawing on her years as Senior Litigation Counsel at the Department of Justice—where she advised DHS, the Department of State, and other federal agencies on complex immigration matters—Nancy K. Canter offers a unique perspective on the structure and function of key immigration enforcement agencies. She will also address emerging trends affecting border enforcement, detention, and deportation. By the end of the session, participants will have a practical understanding of how enforcement efforts are evolving and how they may impact clients navigating the U.S. immigration system.
