Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois’ 8th District spoke with IndoUS Tribune about the key takeaways from a virtual town hall he hosted on Wednesday. Joined by immigration law expert David W. Leopold, the event tackled the impact of President Trump’s recent executive orders on immigration and addressed community concerns about the attempted changes to birthright citizenship.

During the town hall, Congressman Krishnamoorthi emphasized the urgency of providing clarity and support to those navigating the evolving immigration system. “President Trump’s new executive orders have created significant ambiguities in immigration policy, particularly regarding birthright citizenship. This has left many families uncertain about their futures,” he told IndoUS Tribune. “Our community deserves answers, and we’re here to help.”

The Congressman and Leopold fielded questions on how these changes could affect immigrant families and highlighted resources available to those seeking guidance. Krishnamoorthi reiterated his office’s commitment to assisting constituents during this uncertain time. “My office is always here to help anyone with questions or concerns about immigration policies. Whether it’s through direct assistance or events like this town hall, we’re working to ensure everyone has access to reliable information,” he said.

The Congressman encouraged those unable to attend the event to watch the discussion online and to reach out to his office for support. He shared, “If you or someone you know has questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at (847) 413-1959 or email us at IL08.helpline@mail.house.gov.”

Krishnamoorthi also spoke about the importance of staying connected through his social media accounts, where he regularly provides updates on critical issues impacting the community.

Speaking to IndoUS Tribune, he expressed his gratitude for the community’s engagement, saying, “I am inspired by the level of interest and concern in our district. It’s a reminder of why I do this work—to ensure every voice is heard and every family feels supported.”

This virtual town hall marks another step in Congressman Krishnamoorthi’s ongoing efforts to address community concerns and advocate for transparency and fairness in immigration policy.
