My guest today went from Undocumented to the Supreme Court! Luis Cortes Romero– is an immigration lawyer, advocate, and Dreamer who was part of the team that successfully defended the DACA Program before the U.S. Supreme Court and won.  

Luis was brought to the U.S. from Mexico when he was just 2 years old and grew up in California's Bay Area. He’s currently a partner at NOVO LEGAL GROUP in the Seattle area. 

FIRST: We discuss the route that took him to argue before the nation’s highest court to protect the legal program that allowed him to become an attorney in the first place!

THEN: Luis gives us a behind-the-scenes glimpse at what it was like during the arguments before the Supreme Court Justices. And a look at the unique team– including one unlikely conservative key player who joined the effort to win the case. 

AND FINALLY: What he says immigration advocacy looks like right now during a Biden administration. And what activists should be focusing on right now?
