History

Historical Context

The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson on October 3, abolished discriminatory national origin quotas that had shaped U.S. immigration policy since the 1920s. This landmark legislation increased immigration from Latin America and Asia, significantly altering the demographic landscape. The ongoing debates surrounding immigration enforcement, highlighted by the 2026 shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent, reflect historical struggles for civil rights and accountability.
