Stanford Law School Room 290, with overflow to Room 180
Executive orders banning travelers from 7 Muslim-majority countries and suspending the refugee program have created widespread concern throughout our communities. Stanford students, staff, faculty, and visiting scholars from the listed countries, as well as those who have family members from those countries, are particularly at risk, and some have already experienced trouble returning to the United States after travel abroad. In addition, future policy changes may expand the list of those affected to include citizens of other countries and may have other effects on American Muslim communities. This information session will provide information on the legal changes and how Stanford community members can protect themselves in the face of these changes. It will also address other efforts at the university to support members of our community who are affected, including mental health support as well as broader advocacy efforts. Following the presentation, members of the audience will have a chance to ask questions of the immigration lawyers present. Separate information sessions are being planned for all members of the Stanford community interested in learning about the new policies and what they can do to support affected community members.
In order to keep this event a safe space for those who are affected by the new policies, this event is not open to the press.
Note that this event is limited to Stanford members directly affected by the travel ban. A larger, community-wide forum is planned (Thursday, Feb. 2, 4:00-6:00 pm in Paul Brest Hall). More details are available here.
