UC Law School Program Examines Sanctuary Cities and Rule of Law
What is a sanctuary city? Why are they protecting immigrants? What is the administration doing to curtail their existence? How are the courts responding to their actions? Is any of this even legal?
If youd like to know the answers to these very important questions, join the University of Cincinnati College of Law for a discussion on sanctuary cities and the rule of law. This event will be held at 12:15 p.m., Monday, Feb. 19, in Rm. 114 of the law school. All are invited to attend.
