 FAQ Summary  

 

Hosted by the Local Government Legal Center (LGLC), join an informational (not for CLE) webinar regarding the new executive orders and federal policies in the area of immigration and how they may impact local governments and local government officials.

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.
