Penn Law Students Host Rights Training For ICE Encounters

Students at some law schools are attempting to help vulnerable of the community in these times. Many law schools have immigration clinics but some students are doing something more.

For example, University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School student groups (Penn Law Immigrant Rights’ Project, Immigration and Asylum Law Club, and International Refugee Assistance Project) recently hosted an “Immigration Know Your Rights Training” for community members if they are stopped by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in Philadelphia. Above the Law spotlighted the training was spotlighted

Anu Thomas, Penn Carey Law co-lecturer and Esperanza Immigration Legal Services executive director, led the presentation to provide the audience with an “action plan.” She said that “there is a role for everybody to play in response to immigration enforcement” during the event.

I have heard rumors of one central campus administration of a large public university in a Red State prohibiting its law school from using any public funds to support students seeking to organize know your rights sessions as well as creating an immigration clinic.
