In Episode 426 of the Immigration Lawyers Toolbox® Podcast, host John Q. Khosravi, Esq. interviews Mimi Alcocer, a Texas immigration and criminal defense attorney with years of experience at the crossroads of crimmigration.

Mimi discusses her journey from Catholic Charities to launching her own solo practice, her work with public defenders across Texas, and the practical and constitutional impact of the Laken Riley Act (LRA) on immigrant defendants.

Together, John and Mimi explore how recent laws and political shifts have made the landscape tougher for practitioners and clients — and why protecting due process matters for everyone.
