A Venezuelan doctor who was detained by federal authorities last week should soon be released. An immigration attorney representing Dr. Ezequiel Veliz announced the decision in a social media post yesterday.
The attorney said prosecutors wanted Veliz detained, saying he was a flight risk. The attorney said he successfully argued that Veliz was an example of the type of immigrants that should be welcomed in the United States. Veliz is a family medicine doctor who is currently doing his residency in South Texas.
