The Asian Pacific American Bar Association of Los Angeles County presents this panel discussion that promises a compelling and thought-provoking examination of the intersection between race and national security, the treatment of Asian Americans caught up in the justice system due to alleged security breaches, the government's attitude towards U.S. permanent residents/citizens who are natives of Asian countries that are at odds with the U.S., the government's interests and perspectives on security issues, free speech and military justice, and what role a vigilant public can play to ensure that justice is served even in times of war.
