Data Analyst Freed After 5-Month Detention

After five months in immigration custody and facing deportation to Venezuela, Rafael Andres Rubio Bohorquez — a data analyst for the New York City Council — has been granted asylum and is now free to live and work in the U.S. Detained since January after an asylum interview, he was initially accused of visa overstaying and losing his Temporary Protected Status.

Bohorquez called his release a miracle, thanking his legal team and advocates for helping him realize his American dream. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
