In this live radio broadcast, host Rubén interviews immigration attorney Lorena Rivas, Esq. The program covers a wide range of immigration topics relevant to the Hispanic community in Oklahoma and beyond. The discussion begins with a warning about a rumored ICE operation dubbed “Freaky Friday,” which allegedly targets undocumented youths aged 14 and older for detention and possible removal. Rivas explains the legal challenges of suing ICE and the potential use of social‑media data for locating individuals. The conversation then shifts to policy updates: the federal government shutdown does not affect ongoing immigration interviews or court hearings; DACA applications are expected to reopen for new applicants (except Texas) pending a court order, and eligibility criteria are outlined. Rivas provides detailed guidance on VAWA cases, including prima‑facie approval timelines (≈42 months) and the impact on work permits. She discusses the chronic delays in Visa U/T processing (≈5 months for receipts, 6‑10 months for work permits) and the need to file extensions before visas expire. Parole‑in‑place cases for military families are addressed, with estimated adjustment‑of‑status timelines of 6 months to a year. The host and attorney field numerous caller questions about work permits, SSNs, false documents, FOIA/FBI fingerprint requests, and how to handle missed mailings. Rivas repeatedly offers her office’s contact number (918‑505‑4870) and mentions community outreach events (Hispanic Heritage Festival at Guthrie Green). Throughout, the tone is conversational and supportive, with a mix of caution (regarding enforcement) and optimism (about DACA reopening and available legal remedies).
