34] – Major
changes are coming to asylum policy at the U.S. southern border. On Wed., May
10 at noon ET, the American Immigration Council will be holding a webinar to explain
what's happening. Immigration Justice Campaign director Alex Miller will be a
panelist for End of Title 42: Beyond Border Solutions. Register at https://aila-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_5tEI6WjqQau3QCpDWsGswA#/registration. After three long years, Title 42 is set to
end on May 11, raising significant questions about how asylum seekers arriving
at the southern border will be treated. The Biden administration has announced
several policies in advance, with more policy changes expected by May 11.
35] – The Project on Government Oversight [reply@pogo.org] on Wed., May 10 from 4 to 5 PM ET will discuss the USA’s largest police force. Why is the U.S. Customs and Border Protection the least accountable law enforcement agency? Register at https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwkduCorT4tGtb-mT3Edqtn2fjF0OqlVr9X?emci=d56b1c8b-a8ea-ed11-8e8b-00224832eb73&emdi=16d15dd2-c2ea-ed11-8e8b-00224832eb73&ceid=246313#/registration. Its jurisdiction is huge: Two-thirds of the U.S. population lives in a CBP enforcement zone. Chances are, you’re reading this email from an enforcement zone right now. Within these enforcement zones, CBP agents are granted extraordinary power: They can engage in everything from racial profiling to warrantless surveillance with impunity. But despite the consequences of its remarkable power — CBP conduct has even led to many wrongful civilian deaths — the agency has rebuffed and thwarted oversight for years. Join The Constitution Project at POGO for a conversation next Wednesday on what you need to know about this out-of-control law enforcement agency.
36] – The Indivisible Team is hosting a Truth Brigade: Big Truths on Wed., May 10 at 6:30 PM ET. Learn how to fight disinformation with the Truth Brigade.

Today, that disinformation (and misinformation) is ever-more insidious and entrenched, with a recent study showing close to 60% of voters believing at least some extremist disinformation.
