In this weekly live broadcast, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas (Rivas y Asociados) provides a Spanish‑language update on the most significant immigration developments affecting the U.S. Latino community. She covers: (1) the Department of Homeland Security’s plan to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Afghans on May 20 and the broader effort to end TPS for all countries; (2) the Supreme Court’s 6‑3 decision blocking the Trump administration’s attempt to use the 1798 Wartime Aliens Act to deport Venezuelans, providing a temporary pause on those removals; (3) USCIS’s removal of the COVID‑19 vaccine requirement from immigration medical examinations; (4) Senator Rubén Gallegos’s proposed immigration reform bill and the low likelihood of its passage in a divided Congress; (5) Rivas y Asociados, together with the ACLU, filing new motions to block Oklahoma’s anti‑immigrant HB 4156, awaiting a judicial decision; (6) clarification that VAWA, U‑visa and T‑visa programs remain operational despite rumors; (7) ICE’s announced intent to file motions to reopen administratively closed immigration court cases, urging affected individuals to consult counsel; (8) criticism of a rumored reality‑TV competition to award residency, calling the idea absurd and demeaning. Rivas also promotes her firm’s nationwide representation, provides contact numbers, and reminds viewers of her daily live Q&A at 1 PM CT and her social‑media presence. The overall tone is conversational, community‑focused, and aimed at empowering immigrants with accurate legal information.
