In a live radio segment on Radio La Máxima, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas, Esq., fielded calls and social‑media questions about the escalating climate of ICE raids, detainee rights, and immigration procedures in the United States as of 2026. She explained the legal basis for ICE stops, the two primary pathways when someone is detained (voluntary departure or contesting the case before an immigration judge), and the importance of invoking the right to remain silent. Rivas clarified that private business owners can refuse entry to ICE agents absent a warrant, and she described how officers may use race, language, or appearance as suspicion. She offered practical steps for detainees and their families: contact an immigration lawyer immediately, keep documentation (passport, citizenship proof), and be prepared to request a bond hearing. Specific scenarios were addressed, including cases involving minor U.S. citizen children, U.S. citizens mistakenly detained, and the impact of VAWA, TPS, DACA, Visa U/T, and work‑permit applications. Rivas emphasized the need for comprehensive evidence in VAWA petitions, warned against signing documents one does not understand, and provided phone numbers (479‑458‑7171, 844‑37‑RIVAS) for immediate assistance. Throughout, she balanced empathy with clear legal instruction, aiming to empower immigrants with knowledge rather than spread fear.
