Hosted by the Local Government Legal Center (LGLC), join us for a second informational webinar (not eligible for CLE) to discuss this year’s immigration-related executive orders and federal policy changes, and what they could mean for local governments and officials. Topics discussed will include: 

  • Executive Orders on immigration and their implications for defunding and criminal liability  
  • Agency action related to immigration conditions on grants and defunding efforts
  • Lawsuits filed by the federal government against local governments for “sanctuary” policies as well as lawsuits filed by local governments challenging executive actions including both challenges to the Executive Orders and specific defunding efforts

The LGLC is a coalition of national local government organizations formed in 2023 by the National Association of Counties (NACo), National League of Cities (NLC) and International Municipal Lawyers Association (IMLA) to provide education to local governments regarding the Supreme Court and its impact on local governments and local officials and to advocate for local government positions at the Supreme Court in appropriate cases.
