Immigration Attorney Reveals Florida's Deportation Reality

Immigration attorney Richard Hujber spent his first years working for the federal government before shifting to private practice defending clients facing deportation.

In this revealing conversation with Brian Crowley and Michael Williams, Hujber discusses the current state of immigration enforcement in Florida, the impact of workplace raids and detention quotas, and the human stories behind the headlines.

He explains why some long-term residents with American children face removal while recent arrivals received work permits, the controversy surrounding facilities like "Alligator Alcatraz," and how the system affects Florida's economy.

Hujber offers a unique perspective from both sides of the immigration debate, arguing for case-by-case evaluation rather than sweeping enforcement actions. Brian and Michael provide analysis on the political implications heading into the 2026 midterms.
