El Inmigrante Empoderado | The Empowered Immigrant

ICE ya no opera como antes. Más operativos, menos cámaras, menos transparencia, y agentes que muchas veces no se identifican. ¿Sabría reconocer si el vehículo sin marcar afuera de su casa es realmente ICE? En este episodio hablamos de las tácticas que han cambiado, qué tipo de orden necesitan los agentes para entrar a su casa, por qué documentar un operativo puede ser más importante que nunca, y qué pasa si decide grabar o seguir a los agentes de cerca. También aclaramos algo esencial: sus derechos no han cambiado, aunque las tácticas de ICE sí. Si quiere estar preparado antes de que algo pase, podemos ayudarle a armar un plan.

Few people understand the immigration system from as many angles as Elisa Brasil. Born in the Azores, raised in a Bay Area immigrant community, and now Senior Associate Attorney at Landerholm Immigration, Elisa has sat on both sides of the table: as an attorney litigating hundreds of complex cases, and as an immigration judge in San Francisco, where she presided over more than a thousand hearings. In this episode, Elisa gives us a rare look inside the immigration courtroom, from the perspective of someone who has made the very decisions applicants fear most. She talks with us about what judges are really evaluating during a hearing, the most common mistakes she's seen time and again, and how to prepare, both legally and mentally, to walk into court with confidence. With over a decade representing clients in asylum, adjustment of status, naturalization, and cancellation of removal cases, and two years watching those same cases from the bench, Elisa shares the kind of advice only someone with her background can offer. If you have an upcoming hearing, or simply want to understand how the system really works, this episode is for you.
