Description

Having to appear in court is stressful for most people. But imagine having to appear in court in a country where you don’t speak the language, you don’t understand the rules, you don’t have a lawyer, there is a government prosecutor who is arguing that you should be deported, and there’s an immigration judge who uses lots of legal terms you don’t understand, and who also seems to want you to leave the country. And imagine you’re afraid to go back to your home country because you’re pretty sure you’ll be killed if you do – but no one in immigration court seems willing to listen to your story. That’s what U.S. immigration court is like for many non-citizens.In this episode, we’re going to do a deep dive into the world of immigration court. We’re joined today by Matthew Archambault, who has been practicing immigration law for over 20 years. Matthew specializes in representing asylum seekers in immigration court. He’s been a part of cases that have set precedent for the entire country. When he’s not representing clients, you can find him over at the podcast Redirect, a fellow immigration law show he co-hosts with his colleague, Stephen Robbins.

Immigration. It’s in the news, it’s in the headlines, it’s a political flashpoint. It generates a lot of sound and fury, a lot of strong ideas and raised voices. And for most of us, it can be hard to sort through all that noise and understand – what is actually going on? What’s legal for people to do, and what’s not? How do U.S. immigration rules affect people’s lives? What is it like to deal with the barriers – both seen and unseen – to people who want to stay in the U.S.? On this podcast, we explore the world of U.S. immigration – from issues that come up in the news like the border, and separation of families, to things you may have heard less about, like the strange and secret world of the immigration courts – to uncover how all of it works, Along the way we talk with lots of people with stories to tell about how immigration has impacted their lives. Hosts Lindsay Goldford Gray and Jennie Guilfoyle work together at a nonprofit called VECINA, that empowers immigrant justice advocates through mentoring attorneys, educating communities, and mobilizing volunteers.
