DESCRIPTION:The most recent killing in the streets of Minneapolis— 37-yea
 r old ICU nurse Alex Pretti fatally shot ten times by Border Patrol agents
 —has roiled America. As with the murder of George Floyd in the same city
 \, video played a crucial role as federal authorities attempted to deny wh
 at everyone else saw: the unnecessary death of a community member who was 
 protecting others. With the effort to gaslight the American public failing
 \, is a turning point upon us? Will the civic response of neighbors protec
 ting neighbors in Minneapolis—one we have seen in Southern California as
  well— strengthen a movement against cruel enforcement practices and for
  democratic revival?\n\n\nIn this virtual seminar\, we will bring together
  academics\, community organizers\, journalists\, and movement leaders to 
 examine what is being contested and what is at stake for the nation. Frami
 ng Minnesota not as an anomaly but as part of broader struggles over immig
 ration enforcement\, civil liberties\, and collective power\, this event i
 nvites a cross-sector conversation about strategy\, solidarity\, and reima
 gining just futures for communities across the U.S.
