Responses to migration have become an issue of intense controversy in the United States since Donald Trump returned to the U.S. presidency in January 2025. His administration has vigorously pursued deportations by adopting unprecedented approaches to arrests, detention, and deportation, as well as by virtually ending refugee admissions and asylum. A key part of this campaign is carried out by the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, or ICE, which Congress has separately and extravagantly funded. Many of these developments have established a militarized interior presence that some see as impacting not just migrants but also broader society and undermining democracy. Professor Hiroshi Motomura from the UCLA School of Law will discuss the significance of these developments, not just for the United States, but also for immigration policy in many countries facing similar challenges.
Profesor Motomura jest specjalistą w zakresie prawa migracyjnego, a jego najnowsza książka pt. „Borders and Belonging: Toward a Fair Immigration Policy” została wydana przez Oxford University Press w 2025 roku.
