We all have that one tío who somehow gets the immigration update before everyone else.

The problem? The family group chat isn’t always the most reliable source.

With immigration policies, court decisions, agency guidance, and enforcement practices changing frequently, outdated or incorrect information can spread quickly.

Before you panic, share the message with the whole family, or make a decision based on something you heard, verify the information first.

Your tío means well, but when it comes to immigration, accurate and current information matters.

One of the most common questions we hear is:

"Can immigration laws change overnight?"

The reality is that immigration is changing at a rapid pace.

Under the current administration, new executive actions, agency guidance, enforcement priorities, and court decisions are shaping immigration policy on an ongoing basis. While not every announcement changes the law itself, new developments can affect how existing laws are interpreted, enforced, or implemented.

That's why it's more important than ever to separate headlines from facts and understand how changes may apply to your specific circumstances.

Some stories need to be heard, especially from the people who lived them.

Yesterday, Sister Letty shared, in her own words, what happened the day she was taken into custody by ICE. Listening to her speak was a powerful reminder that behind every legal case is a human being, a family, and a story that deserves to be heard.

It is an honor to represent Sister Letty and to stand beside her as she continues to share her experience. As her attorney, my responsibility is not only to advocate for her rights, but to ensure her voice is heard throughout the legal process.

Thank you to everyone who attended the press conference, to the members of the media who helped share her story, and to our community for taking the time to listen.

Every person deserves dignity, due process, and the opportunity to be heard.

Hay historias que necesitan ser escuchadas, especialmente por quienes las vivieron.

Hoy, la Hermana Letty compartió, con sus propias palabras, lo que ocurrió el día en que fue detenida por ICE. Escuchar su testimonio fue un poderoso recordatorio de que detrás de cada caso legal hay una persona, una familia y una historia que merece ser escuchada.

Es un honor representar a la Hermana Letty y acompañarla mientras continúa compartiendo su experiencia. Como su abogado, mi responsabilidad no es solo defender sus derechos, sino también asegurar que su voz sea escuchada durante todo el proceso legal.

Gracias a todas las personas que asistieron a la conferencia de prensa, a los medios de comunicación por ayudar a compartir su historia y a nuestra comunidad por tomarse el tiempo de escuchar.

Toda persona merece ser tratada con dignidad, tener acceso al debido proceso y la oportunidad de ser escuchada.
