Humanizing Immigration with Professor Bill Ong Hing (1-21-24)

Humanizing Immigration Sunday Forum with Professor Bill Ong Hing Sunday, January 21, 9:30 am, 2024 After 50 years of practicing and teaching immigration law, Professor Hing advocates for the dismantling of the US immigration law and enforcement system. Relying on personal experiences and other reported examples, he will recount his experience interviewing children in border patrol detention, representing asylum seekers within a biased system, advocating against the deportation of longtime residents—some with a criminal history deserving of a second chance—and dealing with immigration judges who believe attempted rape is not persecution or threatens to sick a dog on noisy children in the courtroom. He applauds those who are engaged in the disruption of the current system. Bill Ong Hing is a Professor of Law and Migration Studies at the University of San Francisco and a Professor of Law and Asian American Studies Emeritus at U.C. Davis. He founded the Immigrant Legal Resource Center in San Francisco in 1979 and helps direct the USF Immigration and Deportation Defense Clinic. Professor Hing teaches Immigration Law and Policy, Introduction to Migration Studies, and Rebellious Lawyering.
