Condemn Detention of South Texas Emergency Medicine Resident Dr. Rubeliz "Bibi" Bolivar and her daughter.
Dr. Rubeliz Bibi Bolivar, a Venezuelan physician with asylum pending and legal immigration authorization to work until 2030, was detained in McAllen, Texas on April 11, 2026, alongside her daughter. She was on her way to an asylum interview in California, following all legal immigration procedures, when she was detained during what should have been a routine Customs and Border Protection interview. Dr. Bolivar is a frontline healthcare provider serving the Rio Grande Valley, and her detention has sparked immediate condemnation from community leaders who say the arrest of a physician legally living and working in the United States represents a profound moral failure and a direct attack on immigrant families and healthcare workers.
Funds raised will help cover legal fees and support Dr. Bolivar's efforts to gain custody of her daughter and secure their release. Your support will help Dr. Bolivar and her daughter during this urgent time. Any contribution makes a real difference.
