Topics include Chicago as a sanctuary city, the need to address root causes, and the importance of centering the humanity of migrants. Northwestern history professor and contributing writer for The New Yorker Geraldo Cadava moderates the panel with UIC professors and immigration experts Dr. Ivón Padilla-Rodríguez, Adam Goodman, and Bárbara Andrea Sostaita.
