Joan Esposito is joined by Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch, immigration attorney and CEO of Lincoln-Goldfinch Law in Austin.

She highlighted the difficulties families face in locating detained individuals due to Immigration and Customs Enforcement's inefficient tracking system and the practice of transferring detainees across the country. Lincoln-Goldfinch also noted the impact of ICE raids on communities, particularly in sectors like agriculture, construction, and health care, where immigrants are heavily employed. Additionally, she discussed the potential long-term economic and societal effects of current immigration policies and the importance of the midterm elections in shaping future immigration laws.
