Description
Maria and Julio talk about the work of Michael Avenatti (Stormy Daniels' attorney...and future 2020 presidential candidate, maybe?) to reunite immigrant families. His clients are parents who have been deported, and whose kids are still in the U.S., so his approach is to send the kids back to their home countries to be reunited. This is a controversial strategy that has been criticized by many long-time immigration lawyers. They also call up immigration attorney, Amy Maldonado, for her expertise on the topic. ITT staff picks
