Kris Kobach speaking about, what else, immigration at KU tonight; protest scheduled

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach is lecturing tonight at the Lied Center at the University of Kansas. But he won’t be getting a warm welcome. A “peaceful protest” is being organized in opposition to Kobach and his lecture, titled “State and Local Laws Discouraging Illegal Immigration: Their Economic

and Security Impact.”

The protest is scheduled for 6 p.m. in the southeast parking lot of the Lied Center. Kobach is slated to speak at 7 as part of the KU School of Business Annual J.A. Vickers Sr. and Robert F. Vickers

Memorial Lecture. If you’re interested in hearing him out, the lecture is free.
