In this brief Spanish‑language video, attorney Somarys Alcantara of Rivas y Asociados addresses immigrants who are feeling nervous, fearful, and overwhelmed by their immigration situation. She validates those emotions as legitimate, emphasizes that the individual has not lost power, and urges a step‑by‑step approach: seek accurate information, avoid disappearing or remaining silent, and find trustworthy legal counsel. She warns that silence and bad advice can be costly, and reminds listeners that they are more than their immigration status or a case number, encouraging them to see a forward path beyond the current moment.
