Maya King is an immigration attorney working with individuals facing deportation proceedings in Kansas City. In this extended interview filmed August 2025, she discusses a dramatic policy change that eliminated bail eligibility for people who entered without inspection—a shift that has upended cases she’s been handling. She also discusses how ICE is offering detainees financial incentives to “voluntary departure” before they ever see a judge.
