On September 11, 2024, the United States House of Representatives passed two bills that, if enacted, would racially profile members of the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) community under the guise of national security. While policymakers have the prerogative to address the legitimate national security concerns confronting the United States, they may not enact discriminatory laws that target the AANHPI community. In no uncertain terms, the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association (NAPABA) condemns the actions of the House, which instill unwarranted fear and suspicion on individuals solely because of their national origin.

Last week, NAPABA hosted its tenth In-House Counsel (IHC) Summit and second Partners Summit in New York City. These programs marked memorable milestones and brought together over 170 Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) in-house counsel and law firm partners. Both summits served as a powerful space for all to connect and collaborate over a shared purpose to chart the path forward and advance in positions of leadership and influence within the legal profession and beyond. We are deeply grateful to our host sponsor Kirkland & Ellis for its hospitality and robust partnership with NAPABA and our community. Photo Credit: Rob Tannenbaum Photography
