· KRGV (NBC 5)
Dr. Rubeliz Bolivar, a Venezuelan physician, was released from immigration detention in Raymondville on Wednesday after being held since April. She left the El Valle Detention Facility with an ankle monitor, one day after posting bond. Bolivar, who was detained at McAllen International Airport while traveling for an immigration hearing, expressed gratitude for the support she received. Immigration officials stated she was held for overstaying her visa, but her work permit is valid. Her husband, Milenko Faria, plans to contest her deportation as her asylum claim remains unresolved. Both have work authorization through their asylum applications.
