In this live Spanish‑language broadcast dated July 20, 2025, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas provides a weekly roundup of immigration‑related news and practical guidance for her audience. She announces the introduction of the bipartisan Dignity Act in Congress, explains its potential to create a pathway to citizenship and other reforms, and notes that it is still pending legislative action. She reports a federal judge’s injunction halting ICE raids and detentions in Los Angeles, describing it as a check on Trump‑era enforcement tactics. She highlights an ACLU lawsuit seeking to improve or close the Florida detention center known as “Alcatraz” due to alleged inhumane conditions. She discusses the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision that Texas’s state immigration law is unconstitutional, emphasizing the broader impact for other states such as Oklahoma and Florida, and notes the Supreme Court’s refusal to revive Florida’s similar law. Rivas warns that increased detentions are affecting families, businesses, and nursing homes, and stresses the importance of avoiding criminal conduct that could trigger immigration consequences. She advises anyone facing ICE check‑ins or court appearances to consult an immigration attorney promptly and to explore relief options (family petitions, victim‑of‑crime, trafficking, abuse). She alerts listeners that the administration plans to share Medicaid data with immigration authorities, potentially exposing non‑citizens. The segment concludes with a reminder of her daily live Q&A at 1 p.m. Central, verified social‑media handles, and a phone number for direct legal assistance.
