Cosponsored by the section of civil rights and social justice and the commission on immigration of the American Bar Association. My name is karen, i am a special counsel here in the washington d. C. Office. And for purposes of this program this morning i serve as special advisor to the commission on immigration. I am delighted to be our moderator for the program and i am especially honored to be sharing the stage with this distinguished group of panelists.

Im very pleased to have the chance to offer this wide range of diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives to all of you this morning. In short, todays program is going to explore in depth the sanctuary city concept
