The Past, Present, and Future of U.S. Immigration Law, 2025 Boston University Law Review Symposium

We are currently at a critical inflection point in U.S. immigration law. We are contending with oppressive and inhumane immigration policies—policies that magnify the racism and xenophobia that have been weaponized against immigrant communities for years. Boston University Law Review’s Spring 2025 Symposium seeks to ground the historical legacy of U.S. immigration law, understand its manifestation in the present, and embrace a liberatory vision for the future. We hope to draw from a wide range of knowledge bases and lived experiences—including legal scholars, activists, organizers, and more. In doing so, we want to spark imagination, renew our commitment to justice, and, in community with one another, organize for action in the face of fear, uncertainty, and injustice.
