American Dream Boss Podcast: Crimmigration, explained for the attorneys who need to spot it first.
American Dream Boss is the crimmigration playbook criminal defense and immigration attorneys wish they'd gotten in law school. Hosted by Ahmad Yakzan — a Tampa Bay immigration attorney, adjunct law professor, and removal defense specialist — each episode breaks down where criminal law and immigration law actually collide: the plea that quietly triggers deportation, the waiver nobody raised in time, the doctrine most CLEs skip because it lives one subject code over. This isn't a show for clients. It's for the lawyers standing between a plea deal and a deportation order — public defenders, criminal defense attorneys, and immigration practitioners who need a working command of both sides of that line. Every week: a real case broken down end to end (The Docket), rapid-fire practice pointers before you advise a client (Before You Advise), and listener questions answered on air (Ask the Boss). Once a month, a longer conversation with a public defender, immigration judge, or crimmigration scholar (Boss Moves). Ahmad immigrated from Lebanon at eighteen, went through the U.S. immigration system himself, and built a practice on the moments most attorneys miss — the criminal plea with hidden immigration consequences, the removal hearing, the case that was winnable if someone had flagged the issue earlier. This show is that same work, recorded. New episodes weekly. Questions for the show: media@americandreamlawoffice.com
