In this live Spanish‑language broadcast, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas (owner of Rivas y Asociados) provides a weekly update for the U.S. Latino immigrant community. She explains recent immigration‑policy developments and her firm’s legal actions, offering practical guidance. Key points include: (1) sudden USCIS form revisions (I‑485, I‑918, I‑192, N‑400) and a newly filed lawsuit that secured a grace period, allowing previously‑issued editions to be accepted; (2) uncertainty about extending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and parole for Ukrainians, with potential litigation that mirrors challenges faced by Haitian and Venezuelan applicants; (3) reports that the current administration may reopen family detention centers at the border, raising concerns about detaining parents with children; (4) a proposed rule that would require applicants to disclose the usernames of their social‑media accounts on immigration forms, still pending implementation; (5) discussion of rumors that the administration might use IRS tax‑return data for deportations, with Rivas urging continued tax filing as it demonstrates good‑faith compliance; (6) clarification that a newly announced “registration” requirement has not yet been operational, so immigrants need not worry for now; (7) strong advice to consult an immigration attorney before attending any ICE “check‑in” or biometric appointment, especially for those with removal orders or parole; (8) reminders of daily live sessions at 1 PM CT, contact numbers, office locations in Oklahoma City and Tulsa, and encouragement to follow verified social‑media channels. Throughout, Rivas emphasizes empowerment, community solidarity, and the importance of legal advocacy against anti‑immigrant policies.
