The Cobb Immigrant Alliance is holding a public forum June 30 to educate residents about Georgia’s new anti-illegal immigration law.

The new law is scheduled to take effect July 1. It allows police to investigate the immigration status of certain suspects and to arrest and jail illegal immigrants in state and federal jails. Businesses would also be required to use the federal E-Verify program to verify employees’ work eligibility.

Forum begins at 7 p.m. at Crosspoint Presbyterian Church, 4061 Kings Springs Rd. in Smyrna.
