We’re all feeling a bit scared these days… and not just because it’s Halloween. 👻
Immigration courts and agencies are starting to feel haunted by policies, practices, and decisions that can turn into real-life nightmares for immigrants and immigration lawyers.

In this episode, we’re joined by our guest invader, Attorney Irene Mugambi, for a candid conversation about the “monsters” currently lurking in the immigration system, how they’re affecting due process, and what we can do to defend our clients and protect our constitutional rights.

🔥 How do you stay motivated through years of high-stakes immigration work?

In Episode 6 of the Immigration Invasion Podcast, we’re joined by guest invader Paul Zoltan, a veteran immigration attorney who’s been in the trenches for decades.

He shares the strategies, mindset, and habits that have helped him keep—what he calls—“the fire burning in his belly” through the ups, downs, and absurdities of immigration law practice.

Whether you’re a new attorney, a seasoned advocate, or just curious about what it takes to stay in this fight, this episode is packed with insight (and a few laughs).

🎙️ For our 5th episode, we tried something new! An awesome guest invader joined us from across the country, and we tackled some fascinating topics.

In Immigration Laws Gone Wild, we welcome legal podcaster Kevin A. Gregg from the Immigration Review podcast. Together, we break down some of the brokest news in immigration and revisit what actually makes something a law—and what doesn’t.

📌 Not everything that sounds like a law is one.

It’s an overwhelming time, to say the least—executive orders, abrupt personnel changes in immigration agencies, and sudden form updates.

How do we keep up with everything happening everywhere, all at once, in immigration law?

In this episode, we try to make sense of the chaos. We invited our friend Paul Hunker to break down these executive orders, discuss possible responses to the ongoing changes, and explore strategies to weather the storm.🎙️

Especially during times like these, it's crucial to surround yourself with people who share your values and life philosophy—both personally and professionally.

In Episode 3 of the Immigration Invasion podcast: Meet the Inner Circle, we introduce colleagues who are not just friends but trusted advisors.

We share beliefs, laughs, and tears, and we're grateful to have found each other in the legal profession jungle.

Join us to meet Melissa Oosterhof and Andrea Chavarria, our closest circle! 🎙️

Since we recorded this episode on January 20th, some "breaking news" isn’t so new anymore—but let's shift the focus to strategies for handling the incoming waves of broken news.

🎙️ Episode 2: ... Now What? is here!

Much has changed since our last Immigration Invasion Podcast episode, and the big question on everyone’s mind is: What now?

This conversation is your chance to gear up, strategize, and face what’s coming (yes, winter is coming... ❄️).
