As the current administration works to increase deportations, this panel will focus on how changes to current immigration law and policy will affect people with disabilities. Panelists will consider what increased deportation—and the pervasive threat of deportation—means for folks with disabilities and how it may impact children with disabilities if their parents are deported, explore implications of these immigration law and policy changes on undocumented people receiving public benefits, and other issues.
