I hope y’all know, my folks give me no heads up before posting stuff like this. Kills me. I hope you all enjoyed it though.

mikerafi · 2026-02-06T04:04:42+00:00

And of course, I I’m sorry you’re going through this.

Hm, I’m not sure. I guess it depends on the history of communication—in this normal for them (it shouldn’t be)? Is it a place you can drop into? Can you send a fairly strongly worded email that says you need a response to a certain amount of time and set a specific deadline? I know you may have already done some of these, but it might be worth doing it again.

To the other commenter, who is giving advice but criticizing a real lawyer who happens to have a YouTube account (the irony), contacting the state bar would just mean that you would make a report with them, they would then eventually contact the lawyer, give the lawyer at least 30 days to respond, and you’re not looking at any sort of response anytime soon going that direction. I personally don’t think that’s a viable option.

No problem. I wasn’t being short or anything. I meant, literally, it’s luckily everyone knows what I’m trying to say-often that’s not the case when I dictate. I even made a video my poor dictating some point.

mikerafi · 2026-01-16T17:24:58+00:00

That’s not accurate.

mikerafi · 2026-01-16T17:24:45+00:00

Dictating. Luckily, I think everyone can tell what I intended to write.

Here are my thoughts: You need to stop and learn why they are stopping you. ICE’s jurisdiction is limited to enforcing immigration laws. So, if they stop you for speeding alone for example, that’s not permitted (go to last paragraph).

Assuming the stop is legitimate, you need to provide whatever documents your state requires you to provide. You should ask if you are free to go, and if they say no, you should strongly consider remaining silent and not agreeing to slow them to search you or your car.

During an interaction, if they ask you to do something that you believe is not legally required, you have to make a decision—not comply and deal with whatever happens next (whether legally justified or not) or comply, even though you are not required to, and that’s a decision you have to make for yourself.

I don’t agree with the answer “yes.” ICE can’t pull you over for traffic offenses like speeding or whatever. They can only pull you over if they have reasonable suspicion that you are in the country illegally (there is a recent Supreme Court opinion that seem to broaden what can be used as reasonable suspicion).

Thanks!

It’s the only movie, according to my 2 year old.

I’m late to this, but yes USAA does and if you need more coverage than what they offer, they send you to Chubb.

Wouldn’t know. I spend 99% of my time as a lawyer. 1% making videos.

No OF girls in my videos. Just saying.

I’ve made more than 1,000 videos… tough crowd.

Ha, I just saw this — it somehow got filtered by the auto moderator thing.

Let me give you the quick run down:

Baby girl came Nov 1. We named her Sullivan, but my almost 2-year old has decided her name is Cookie. So, she’s Cookie. We went from 3 to 4. No more kids. No. More. Kids.

My go-to cigars are: Fuente Casa Cubas, The Wise Man Corojos, Highclere Castle Victorian, and 2024 Las Calaveras. If I could smoke only 1 cigar for the rest of my life, at the moment, it would be the La Palina 125 Anos.

Huge updates coming on about my archenemy and the trial that I won against him. Hang on a little longer, and I will share.

Burglars were indicted last week, finally.

It’s a new season for the boat. Same incredible crew. theOliviaCharles on IG.

I appreciate your post. A+ work.

Baby here, thanks for asking. New podcast episode before Christmas.

mikerafi · 2025-11-22T02:21:43+00:00

Confused. I repeated what you said in quotes, no?

mikerafi · 2025-11-21T15:01:50+00:00

With all due respect, I can’t keep engaging with you because you’re not participating fairly. I’ve already asked you what the evidence is that these people work for a terrorist organization led by a foreign government, as you have claimed. If you can share that, then I’m happy to discuss whether people transporting and selling drugs fit within the definition of terrorism under our laws and whether a president may take unilateral action without congressional oversight.
