Local bar associations discuss faith and immigration at St. Francis College
Organizers insisted that the timing was coincidental, but it couldn’t have been better as three local bar associations came together to host a discussion on immigration titled “Can Faith Trump Walls?” at St. Francis College last Thursday.
Members of the Catholic Lawyers Guild of Brooklyn, the Brooklyn Brandeis Society and the Muslim Bar Association of New York hosted a Faith in the Law discussion at the college while Yemeni immigrants were protesting President Donald Trump’s “immigration ban” in front of Borough Hall not even a block away.
