Zoom Webinar

Join MCDAA on November 6 for an hour long webinar, Confronting ICE & Immigration Enforcement: How Defense Attorneys Can Safeguard Clients, Proceedings, and The Law. 

ICE’s growing presence in Maryland courthouses and workplaces poses new challenges for criminal defense attorneys and the clients they serve. From courthouse arrests to sudden workplace raids, immigration enforcement actions can jeopardize client safety, disrupt legal proceedings, and erode trust in the justice system.

This essential MCDAA webinar will address how defense attorneys can respond when ICE appears in court, conducts a workplace raid, or detains a client. Experienced speakers will examine recent Maryland incidents, outline the legal and ethical implications of immigration enforcement, and provide concrete strategies to protect clients before, during, and after arrest.
