The League of Women Voters of San Luis Obispo County Presents a Lunch with the League Webinar

"ICE and the Law: Rights, Limits, and Accountability”

Wednesday, June 3, 2026 at Noon on Zoom | Registration Required

San Luis Obispo, CA – When ICE agents show up in a community, the impact is immediate: families are separated, neighbors are frightened, and questions about legality go unanswered. But what does the law actually require of immigration enforcement? And what happens when enforcement strays outside those boundaries?

This Lunch with the League webinar brings together legal experts and community voices to examine how constitutional and federal law are meant to constrain ICE, what rights exist for people in those encounters, and where accountability breaks down in practice.

Moderated by Rita Casaverde, Executive Director of the Diversity Coalition SLO County, the panel features Sarah Goss, Esq., Staff Attorney at the San Luis Obispo Legal Assistance Foundation (SLOLAF); Primitiva Hernandez, Executive Director of 805Undocufund; and Jared Van Ramshorst, Assistant Professor of Political Science at Cal Poly. The conversation will be grounded in local context and real experience, with space for practical next steps you can take.

Join us Wednesday, June 3, 2026 at noon via Zoom.

This Zoom event is free to the public, but registration is required. Register  at www.lwvslo.org.
