History

Historical Context

The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson on October 3, abolished discriminatory quotas favoring European immigrants, reshaping U.S. demographics. This legislation led to increased immigration from Latin America and Asia, significantly diversifying the population. Ongoing tensions, highlighted by a recent shooting involving ICE agents in Glen Burnie, reflect the complex relationship between immigration enforcement and community safety.
