Reporting from Staff Conference: National Immigration Update
Islamaphobia is on the rise as well. As chair of the House Homeland Security Committee, Congressman Pete King (R – NY) has promised to hold hearings to investigate the radicalization of Islam in America. Such hearings bring us back to McCarthy era witch hunts. At the ACLU staff conference, President of the National Conference on Civil and Human Rights and former ACLU staff attorney Wade Henderson called on the ACLU to remain strong in its principled approach to defending civil liberties. Rest assured that we will remain at the forefront of these efforts. Stay tuned to the ACLU of ME blog for more updates from the staff conference in Las Vegas.
