This program will critically examine the first months of the 2nd Trump presidency, focusing on the executive orders issued during this period and their real-world implications for South Asian immigrants in the United States. We will unpack these policies, analyze their immediate and long-term effects, and explore the legal challenges that have been or can be brought in response. Through this discussion, we aim to provide clarity on what these changes mean for immigrant communities and how legal strategies are shaping the fight ahead.

Key Discussion Points:

• Unpacking the Executive Orders: Breaking down the major immigration-related executive actions—what they say, what they do, and who they impact.
• Real-World Impacts on South Asian Communities: Examining how these policy shifts affect South Asian visa holders, permanent residents, asylum seekers, and undocumented individuals, as well as broader community dynamics.
• Legal Challenges and Litigation Strategies: Analyzing the lawsuits and legal challenges that have been filed or could be pursued to push back against restrictive immigration measures.
