A Venezuelan attends an asylum interview in Southern California while his wife, a doctor, is detained in Texas. Milenko Faria says his wife, Dr. Rubeliz Bolivar, has been in immigration custody since Saturday, April 11. She was arrested at McAllen International Airport with their daughter while heading to the Los Angeles area to attend the interview. Bolivar, who worked in a medically underserved area, was detained under President Donald Trump's hardline immigration policies. The Department of Homeland Security claims she overstayed her visa.

The Trump administration has begun enforcing radical new restrictions on who qualifies for asylum as tens of thousands of migrants wait on the Mexican border, seeking refuge.
