Episode #66: How Trump Has Changed Immigration and More with Immigration Lawyer, Tahmina Watson

Hello everyone and welcome to A Pretty Normal Podcast, a show that
re-imagines what society considers normal. Each week I interview
different guests about the topics they’re most passionate
about.This week I had the opportunity to speak with Tahmina Watson,
the inspirational founder of Watson Immigration Law as well as
Widen, a non-profit organization that trains and mentors lawyers to
help detained immigrants. She’s also the host of the podcast,
Tahmina Talks Immigration and an author and blogger. Tahmina is
making a huge impact on protecting immigrant rights and lives and
breathes immigration.In our conversation she shares why immigration
became such a passion for her. Tahmina has been on the other side
of the legal process and understands the long and complicated
process immigrants go through. We also spoke about how immigration
has changed and even become more difficult and expensive.It may
have slipped under the radar for many Americans, however not too
long ago, United States Citizenship and Immigration Service also
known as USCIS, was at risk of completely grinding to a halt. The
agency had announced that without more money from congress, they
would have to furlough 13,400 employees. Tahmina breaks down that
situation and what ultimately happened. Connect with Tahmina Watson
