One Year of Trump Immigration Policy: Analysis and Action

Since taking office on January 20, 2025, the Trump administration has targeted refugees, asylum seekers, and immigrants with an unprecedented deluge of attacks. In just one year they have fundamentally reshaped United States policy – creating devastating impacts on immigrant communities in the U.S., and people seeking safety around the world.

But we know the playbook of our response. During the past year, we took legal action, we advocated with elected officials, we supported our immigrant neighbors, we mobilized a Jewish and interfaith voice.

One year into President Trump’s second term, join us for an expert analysis of the administration’s first year, their impact on refugees, asylum seekers, and immigrants, and how we will be taking action together to fight back. Moderated by Noah Gottschalk, Chief External Relations Officer, the discussion will feature:

• Dr. Beth Oppenheim, Chief Executive Officer, HIAS
• Naomi Steinberg, Vice President, U.S. Policy & Advocacy, HIAS
