In this live Spanish‑language radio/YouTube broadcast, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas, Esq. answers a rapid‑fire series of listener questions while discussing recent policy developments in Oklahoma. She explains the governor’s “Operation Guardian” and its reliance on 287(g) agreements, clarifies that ICE detentions and ICE holds do not automatically mean deportation and that detainees may request bond and a hearing before an immigration judge. Rivas addresses practical matters such as correcting birth‑certificate errors through vital‑records offices and county court orders, the growing delays in USCIS inquiries and Requests for Evidence, and the impact of federal staffing shortages. She outlines eligibility and processing timelines for T‑visas (trafficking victims) and U‑visas (crime victims), how to adjust status after three years of holding a U‑visa, and the role of VAWA in waiving permanent bars. The attorney also discusses permanent removal bars, possible waivers via T‑/U‑visas or VAWA, and strategies for individuals with prior deportations or criminal convictions. Throughout, she emphasizes immigrant rights, the importance of documenting fear of persecution, and encourages callers to contact her office for personalized assistance.
