In this episode:
Host Bruce Richard sits down with immigration attorney Robin Nice for an in-depth discussion about the legal and human realities of ICE enforcement in the United States. With over a decade of experience representing asylum seekers and families facing deportation, Robin explains how attorneys can better understand clients’ rights and the rapidly changing landscape of immigration policy.
With expertise and passion, Robin unpacks:
- What ICE actually is — and how its authority differs from local police
- Common misconceptions about warrants, detentions, and client rights
- How enforcement priorities have changed under different administrations
- What to do when a client is detained — from filing bond motions to habeas petitions
- Due process breakdowns inside the immigration system
- How federal district courts can serve as a safeguard against overreach
- The human cost of a system that leaves families in fear, uncertainty, and legal limbo
Robin also discusses the urgent need for legal reform, the impact of current policies on asylum seekers, and the moral and constitutional questions every lawyer should be asking about immigration enforcement today.
Featured Guest:
Robin Nice, Esq. — Partner at McHaffey & Nice, a Boston-based firm focused exclusively on immigration law, specializing in asylum and humanitarian relief. Robin brings 13 years of experience advocating for individuals and families navigating the U.S. immigration system.
