A South Texas doctor was detained by the Department of Homeland Security. The doctor, Rubeliz Bolivar, is an emergency medicine resident at South Texas Health System in McAllen, Texas. She holds a valid work permit and has lived in the US for a decade. Bolivar was detained while traveling with her 5-year-old daughter to a previously scheduled asylum interview. The American College of Emergency Physicians and Emergency Medicine Residents' Association are calling for her release. The detentions appear to be tied to a Trump administration freeze on visa extensions and work permits for citizens of certain countries.
