A Venezuelan man arrived for an interview with asylum officials on Thursday without his wife, a well-known doctor in South Texas, who planned to attend until she was detained at the airport with the couple’s 5-year-old daughter.
Milenko Faria arrived for the interview at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services offices near Los Angeles, while his wife, Dr. Rubeliz Bolivar, entered her sixth day in immigration custody in Texas and was unable to attend the appointment they had been waiting for for more than 10 years.
