Ricardo Páez and his wife have lived a quiet life outside Miami for over a decade. He works in distribution; she is an accountant. Together they take care of a 9-year-old adopted dog they named Millie.
Páez, though, is not like most of his neighbors in Pembroke Pines, a suburb lush with palm trees and littered with golf courses. The 66-year-old Venezuelan native is in the U.S. on a protected status — or at least he thought it was protected.
