Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) will attend an immigration conference next month with Women’s March organizer and liberal activist Linda Sarsour, who has come under increased scrutiny for her ties to radical Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan.
Both Warren and Sarsour are slated to speak at the National Immigrant Integration Conference in Arlington, Virginia. The conference, which will run from Dec. 9 to 11, is the largest immigration conference in the United States and “plays a central role in the powerful, diverse and broad immigrant and refugee rights and integration field,” according to its website.
“At the NIIC, the many different spokes of this field gather to develop relationships, build campaigns, amplify shared values, be inspired, build relationships, and share ideas, strategies, lessons learned and new information and innovations,” the website reads. “It is an important space for leaders and organizations, and strengthens collaborations and partnerships that power work at the local, regional and national level.”
