History

Historical Context

The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson on October 3, abolished national origin quotas, significantly altering U.S. immigration demographics. This act allowed over 1 million immigrants from Latin America and other regions, leading to increased immigration enforcement. Recent protests in cities like Minneapolis and Los Angeles highlight ongoing tensions surrounding federal immigration policies and the scrutiny of ICE practices.
