Show Notes

Today Leonard and Michael Wildes discusses the book “Safe Haven In America: Battles to Open the Golden Door” and reflect on a career spent fighting to keep good people in the country.

In “Safe Haven In America: Battles to Open the Golden Door,” Michael describes representing defecting KGB agents, whistleblowers, disillusioned Saudi diplomats, accused terrorists, professionals and celebrities, such as First Lady Melania Trump and soccer legend Pele. But the book also recounts his efforts help the victims of international child kidnapping cases, families that were all but destroyed by the attack on the World Trade Center, and a DACA recipient who endured a hate crime.
