As part of Loyola Marymount University’s 2022 CSJ Center for Reconciliation and Justice Symposium, learn more about the current situation at the U.S./Mexico border from a humanitarian, legal and Christian perspective.

In the past year, border law and policy has seen whiplash-inducing ups and downs. Out of the gate, the incoming Biden administration made good on certain of its campaign promises in the area of immigration but deferred on others. Later, federal courts dealt severe blows to progress, reversing attempts to restore protections dismantled by the prior administration. Throughout, vulnerable immigrants amassed at our southern border in record numbers.

Speakers include:

• Suzanne Jabro, CSJ, Founder of Border Compassion, member of Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, Los Angeles Province
• Amalia Cortina, Advocate for Immigrants
• Troy Elder, Migrant Missioner, Attorney  Episcopal Diocese of San Diego
