In a live broadcast on La Raza 92.3, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas, Esq., fields calls from listeners and provides real‑time legal guidance on a range of immigration issues affecting the Hispanic community in Arkansas, Oklahoma, and beyond. She begins by reporting recent federal circuit decisions that expand bond eligibility for people who entered the U.S. without documents, explaining which circuits (Sixth, Fifth, Eighth, Tenth) have adopted or rejected the rule and what that means for detainees and the need for habeas petitions. Rivas then addresses questions about VAWA cases, clarifying that travel permits (parole) are separate from work authorizations and are being denied more frequently, advising only to travel in emergencies. She discusses how a past DWI can affect a consular medical interview in Juárez, offering practical tips for answering alcohol‑use questions. The attorney outlines the current security‑related pause on adjustment‑of‑status applications and other benefits, urging patience while the administration reviews cases more deeply. Rivas warns listeners about ICE enforcement patterns, emphasizing avoidance of local police encounters and cautioning against non‑essential travel due to aggressive secondary inspections. She answers a query on T‑visa applications, explaining that missing psychologist evidence can be submitted later, especially after an RFE. Further, she explains family‑based waivers, the possibility of permanent bars, and how 245(i) or a parent’s residency might be leveraged, noting the need for detailed case analysis. Throughout, she promotes her firm’s contact numbers, office locations, and social‑media presence, encouraging listeners to seek a second opinion or representation. The broadcast blends legal updates, practical advice, and community outreach in a conversational, supportive tone.
