Description:

"Can they do that?”
Legal professionals are getting questions - or perhaps they are even wondering themselves - as federal immigration authorities have become more visible, frequent, and forceful presences in local communities.
This one-hour virtual lunch-and-learn session will focus on immigration enforcement and the related question: When does lawful protesting cross the line?
Our panel of all-stars will discuss issues related to First Amendment and Second Amendment rights such as: 

• What have courts held to be protected forms of protest? 
• What crosses the line, and does it matter if a protester is carrying a registered firearm? 
• How can lawyers be Legal Observers in the moment?

If you have questions for the panel, please send them ahead of time to ambassadors@wsba.org. We want to make sure our short time together is jam-packed with the information you need! .

Panelists will also discuss the role of lawyers as Legal Observers, practical guidance for advising community members, and how legal professionals can respond to increased immigration enforcement activity. This session is part of the WSBA Rule of Law Ambassador Program’s ongoing effort to equip legal professionals to counter misinformation, build public trust, and support the rule of law.
