"Dr. Bolivar followed our laws, obtained valid work authorization, and dedicated herself to caring for patients in one of the most underserved regions in the country. Detaining physicians who are here legally and serving communities in need of vital emergency care is not targeted enforcement. It is a threat to the health of the American people, and it must stop."
"Dr. Bolivar is a frontline emergency medicine resident and a mother. Every shift she misses is care delayed for patients who rely on her expertise in a region already facing a healthcare crisis."
