In this live Spanish‑language broadcast, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas (founder of Rivas y Asociados) delivers a weekly update for her immigrant community. She opens with Easter greetings and a motivational message, then outlines recent legal and policy developments affecting immigrants in the United States. Key points include: (1) the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent ruling that the President cannot use the Alien Enemy Act to deport individuals, a decision that halts deportations of Venezuelans to El Salvador; (2) the high‑profile wrongful deportation of Salvadoran national Kilmer Abrego García, illustrating executive‑branch non‑compliance with court orders and due‑process concerns; (3) a wave of abrupt visa revocations for international students, many of whom received termination notices without prior hearings, creating panic and uncertainty; (4) increased ICE check‑in notices and the associated risk of detention, prompting advice to consult an immigration lawyer before attending; (5) the Trump administration’s proposed nationwide registration of undocumented persons, its potential criminal penalties, and the ambiguous future use of the collected data; (6) practical guidance urging viewers to seek qualified legal counsel before taking any immigration‑related action. Rivas also shares recent success stories from her firm—work permits, green cards, and a cancellation of removal case—demonstrating that positive outcomes are still possible. She announces a limited‑time $500 discount for new or existing clients, reminds viewers of her daily live Q&A at 1 p.m. Central Time, and ends with Easter well‑wishes. The overall tone is supportive, urgent, and instructional, aiming to empower the audience while warning them of current risks.
