Bird’s Eye View: Issues Impacting Older Immigrants in 2025 Part 2 December 16, 2025

In the last year, the Trump administration has relentlessly targeted immigrants, aiming to eliminate their access to essential safety net services and create fear in immigrant communities.

Older immigrants already face many barriers in accessing the health, economic, and legal services they need to age with dignity. The pursuit of arbitrary eligibility requirements, limiting language supports, and creating additional administrative burdens not only erodes older immigrants’ access to necessary supports, but may threaten access and quality of these supports for all older adults and people with disabilities.

This webinar, Bird’s Eye View: Issues Impacting Older Immigrants in 2025 Part 2, will provide a high-level overview of major issues facing older immigrants in 2025. This webinar will also provide advocates with information regarding the impacts of H.R. 1, rulemaking under the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA), and recent attempts to designate English as the official language of the United States.

Presenters will discuss:

• Who older immigrants are.
• Developments in immigration policies impacting older adults; and
• General guidance for advocates who work with older immigrants with resources from Justice in Aging and the National Immigration Law Center.

Who Should Participate: Advocates for and professionals working with older immigrants and other aging and disability stakeholders.
