4 Years after NoBanJFK - Where We Were, Where We've Been, Where We're Going
A look back and a look forward from lawyers who were at JFK Airport during the Muslim Ban, and who haven't stopped fighting since.
When lawyers arrived at JFK Airport on the morning of January 28th, 12 hours after the signing of the infamous Muslim Ban, they didn't know what to expect. But they did know that it was the beginning of a long, four-year battle to protect immigrants from hostile policies meant to deter them from pursuing their American dreams.
Since then, legal advocates have stood up, time and again, to defend not only individuals caught in the cross-hairs of a deportation machine unlike any we've ever seen, but the very foundations of our justice system.
Come hear from lawyers who were at JFK Airport that weekend as they remember what those days were like, reflect on all that came after, and share their thoughts on where we go from here.
