Lessons Learned from Minnesota: Safety and Practice Preparedness During an ICE Surge

Join us for a conversation with Minnesota immigration attorneys currently navigating “Operation Metro Surge,” along with AILA’s Practice and Ethics Counsel. Together, we’ll explore practical steps you can take to protect the safety of your clients, yourself, and your practice.

We will cover how to create an action plan, strategies for de-escalation and personal safety, effective ways to document incidents, handling for practice management considerations, and how to offer support in your community. Prepare now—your state, city, or town could be next.
