In this live radio segment, host Rubén Merlos interviews immigration attorney Lorena Rivas, Esq., who fields a rapid‑fire series of caller questions about U.S. immigration law. The conversation opens with a discussion of a viral ICE shooting in Minnesota, critiquing federal enforcement policies and political accountability. The bulk of the show consists of practical legal guidance: (1) travel rights for TPS holders who have become permanent residents; (2) delays and processing timelines for VAWA petitions and receipt notices; (3) how to request FOIA records to clarify immigration classifications; (4) status and processing expectations for U‑visas, T‑visas, and the associated “bona fides” letters; (5) the impact of criminal convictions (DUI, child‑neglect, traffic tickets) on residency and work permits; (6) tourist‑visa eligibility for Mexican government employees; (7) the protective effect of 245(i) adjustment of status; (8) advice on renewing work permits and filing extensions; (9) strategic coordination of criminal and immigration counsel when facing charges; and (10) office locations, contact information, and social‑media outreach. Throughout, Rivas emphasizes immigrant rights, the need for diligent documentation, and the importance of staying informed about policy changes.
