In a live Spanish‑language radio segment on La Máxima, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas (founder of Rivas y Asociados) fielded a marathon of listener questions about U.S. immigration law. She explained how recent USCIS policy shifts have temporarily threatened the adjustment‑of‑status (Form I‑485) process, clarified that Congress has not passed new immigration statutes but each presidential administration interprets existing law differently, and described the practical impact of those interpretations on thousands of migrants. Rivas detailed specific relief options such as cancellation of removal (section 42B), VAWA, U and T visas, and the challenges of detention—bond eligibility, transfers between facilities, psychological strain, and the high cost of legal representation. She emphasized the importance of consulting multiple attorneys, maintaining patience, keeping documentation current, and knowing one’s rights when ICE agents appear. The conversation also covered funding debates for ICE, travel restrictions for asylees, work‑permit delays, conditional‑resident removal, and how to address perceived attorney misconduct. Throughout, Rivas provided contact information for her firm’s offices across Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas and invited listeners to seek second opinions via phone, video, or in‑person consultations.
