May 15, 2026 - Recent ICE and FBI interactions involving Chinese students and scholars have raised growing concerns within the community. This webinar will discuss how to respond calmly, legally, and effectively during law enforcement encounters while protecting your rights.

On April 1, CALDA’s Legal Director Justin Sadowsky appeared on MS NOW in a televised interview discussing the national debate on birthright citizenship.

The interview followed oral arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court and highlights CALDA’s ongoing engagement in national legal discussions on constitutional and civil rights issues.

This recording captures oral arguments from November 4, 2025, before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in Wang v. Paxton, CALDA’s ongoing constitutional challenge to Texas Senate Bill 17, which restricts property ownership by citizens of certain countries, including China. CALDA Legal Director Justin Sadowsky argued on behalf of the plaintiffs that SB 17 violates Equal Protection and Due Process guarantees, underscoring the law’s discriminatory impact on lawful residents and students of Chinese descent. The hearing was held before Judges Wiener, Engelhardt, and Oldham.

CLADA President Clay Chu speaks at the hearing on Senate Bill 17, also known as the Texas Alien Land Bill, addressing its potential impact on property ownership rights for immigrants and its characterization as a “new Chinese Exclusion Act.” This video captures his remarks during the press conference in Houston on August 14, 2025, held just before the first court hearing.

 2024年4月19日星期五，美国第11巡回上诉法院就关于佛州SB264法案被提起上诉的案件进行了听证会，上述方认为该法案违反了美国宪法，限制了许多中国移民购房。佛州当地华人聚集在巡回法院附近的广场上，集会示威，表达对SB264法案的不满！希望更多人听到他们的心声！ 

•  “This law is hurting immigrants who are trying to build lives in Florida,” said Jian Song, owner of Multi-Choice Realty LLC. “As a Chinese American who has called Orlando my home for over 20 years, I’ve been extremely worried since this law went into effect.”  
• Mr. Jian Song moved from China to Orlando over a decade ago and now owns a small real estate firm that helps other Chinese immigrants find their perfect home. Since Florida's discriminatory housing law went into effect, many of Mr. Song's clients can no longer buy a home and fear they are no longer welcome in the state. Everyone in the U.S. is entitled to equal protection under the law, including citizens of other countries, which is why we're asking the court to block this unconstitutional law once and for all.
