8pm to 9:30pm EST
Location: Virtual
Join us for a thoughtful, searching conversation among friends and experts who disagree on America’s immigration policies, but who are working together through Braver Angels to find agreement on updating and improving the nation’s immigration and deportation policies.
They’ll discuss:
What’s at the heart of America’s deportation policy for you?
What policies or remedies do you support to improve America’s deportation system?
This National Forum is part of the Braver Angels Citizens Commission on Immigration, an initiative bringing together grassroots Americans, national leaders, and members of Congress who disagree to find common ground on immigration.

Resolved: Abolish ICE
On January 7, 2026, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent named Jonathan Ross fatally shot Renee Good in the course of ICE’s deployment to Minneapolis to conduct immigration enforcement operations.
In the hours and days following, video footage capturing the shooting from different angles proliferated, sparking protests in Minneapolis and other American cities. At the same time, events in Minneapolis sparked a national conversation about ICE, President Trump’s immigration enforcement tactics, and the limits of federal authority. Was Ross’ use of force legal? Are ICE immigration raids in major metropolitan areas justified? Are protesters unlawfully obstructing federal agents in the execution of their duties? Should ICE be abolished, or is it necessary?

Learn to communicate more effectively across political differences. Choose the "red" or "blue" version based on your leanings—each uses different examples, but teaches the same skills. Not red or blue? Pick one for practice. You’re also welcome to take both.
This course helps you become more aware of your own inner polarizer, learn to be critical without stereotyping or showing contempt, and build skills to respond constructively when conversations turn toward ridicule or dismissiveness.
This course teaches skills to avoid contributing to polarization on social media, decide when to engage or disengage, and interact more constructively. It focuses on your own behavior, not the broader social media climate. Example posts are real, edited for instruction.
