Texas, my home, has been a battleground over the soul of the American Dream as it pertains to immigrants from around the globe. I want to use whatever platform I have to educate myself and my audience about things that matter to me. Right now, our laws are eroding around us and immigration attorneys like my guest in this bonus episode are part of a group fighting for the vulnerable every day.
Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch (aka Abogada Kate) is an immigration attorney in Austin, TX, serving families and individuals through the complicated and sometimes harrowing immigration process. In this conversation we cover:
- How the day to day work of an immigration law office has changed since November 2024 and since Trump took office
- How our rule of law has eroded and what advice Kate would have for citizens and non-citizens during this unstable period
- Thoughts on the Mahmoud Khalil case
- How the legal profession is responding to the Trump administration's tactics
- The process of becoming a US citizen
- The prospect of overhauling our immigration system
- The beauty of being a country of immigrants
- How attitudes about labor can shape the immigration conversation for better and for worse
- How we can protect non-citizens and permanent residents
