Anti-immigrant and refugee sentiments are often tied to concerns about crime and national security. The Trump administration just issued its second travel ban and has sought to halt refugees from across the world. Sanctuary cities are under threat. But what is the truth about immigration when it comes to the safety of our communities and nation? Join law enforcement, advocates and researchers in a free, interactive webinar on Immigration, Safety and Security (http://www.ilctr.org/promoting-immigrants/ilc-workshops/immigration-safety-and-security/) hosted by The Immigrant Learning Center’s Public Education Institute.
