Venezuelan Doctor Detained in Texas After Losing Job to Visa Freeze

The Venezuelan doctor, who was forced out of his hospital job by a federal visa pause, was detained by Border Patrol on Monday.“I am a physician in a federally recognized medically underserved area. In an area like this, missing even a resident physician like me, is a lot,” Ezequiel Veliz said. “That means that hundreds of patients are not going to be seen.”
