    False Hope and the Rule of Law, a free lecture on current immigration issues by Theresa Martinez and the New Sanctuary Task Force. Lately, discussion here in Utah about immigration has been accompanied by some overtly racist, xenophobic, and even violent rhetoric. At the same time, some of the rhetoric has attempted to appeal to the general public in more subtle ways. This talk will unpack some of the more subtle anti-immigration rhetoric, particularly, arguments of 'false hope' and the 'rule of law' in relation to opportunities for undocumented students and their parents. The state is certainly at a crossroads on these issues and we will need to decide how to act wisely and justly with regard to a significant but vulnerable segment of our population.
