On November 10, 2011, the Bickel & Brewer Latino Institute for Human Rights hosted its inaugural conference, "Legislating the Lives of Immigrants: The Entanglement of State and Local Governments in Immigration Policy."

This national conference brought together experienced practitioners, renowned academics, legislators, organizers, law students, and media representatives from across the country to discuss immigration policy and the involvement of state and local governments in the formation of that policy. The conference was held from 8am to 4pm on November 10, 2011 at NYU School of Law, Lipton Hall.

The world watched as Arizona enacted its controversial immigration law, Senate Bill 1070, in April of 2010. The toughest law at the time, SB 1070 provides local authorities unparalleled power in investigating individuals suspected of violating immigration laws. Since then, states like Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina have followed suit.

Sponsored by the Bickel & Brewer Latino Institute for Human Rights, "Legislating the Lives of Immigrants: The Entanglement of State and Local Governments in Immigration Policy" is a national conference that will explore controversial immigration measures being adopted at the state and local levels -- and how those measures impact the country in the areas of policing, housing, labor, and education.
