We discuss her background growing up in Cuba and fleeing to Miami as a child and how that led her to pursue a law enforcement career with the IRS. Lydia shares some of her most challenging cases over 15 years, including stopping drug-running operations for Pablo Escobar’s cartel through an undercover sting. She also gives insights into her experiences with interrogations and going undercover herself to help take down high-level cartel members.
