The Constitution guarantees the fundamental rights of due process and equal protection to every person in this country, regardless of their immigration status. Join Kathleen Hynes, Ph.D., volunteer speaker for the ACLU of Colorado, for an interactive presentation on Immigrant Rights.
Upholding the rights of the politically disenfranchised is vital; when the government has the power to deny legal rights and due process to one group of people it puts everyone’s rights in danger. The ACLU of Colorado works to uphold the due process and equal protection clauses embodied in our Constitution and Bill of Rights, which apply to every “person,” and are not limited to U.S. citizens. The talk will highlight current immigration issues in Colorado and nationally, including ICE detainers, sanctuary cities, and court cases.
