Chew's Views with Richard ChewRichard Chew is joined by Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch, immigration attorney and CEO of Lincoln-Goldfinch Law in Austin.
The discussion examined potential changes to federal and Texas immigration enforcement and the continuing risks for immigrant families. Here are a few highlights from the conversation:
- Lincoln-Goldfinch expects congressional oversight and investigations into detention conditions, constitutional abuses, and spending, but said major immigration legislation is uncertain given the president’s veto power.
- She said the incoming Texas leadership could reverse state requirements for local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE, end 287(g) agreements involving state troopers, and stop licensing family detention centers.
- She described those changes as possible once the new leadership takes office, while noting the transition period remains.
- Lincoln-Goldfinch said raids are increasing, people remain detained without adequate oversight, and families should continue emergency planning until conditions change.
