A vigil in Doral, organized by the Venezuelan American Caucus, highlighted growing fears among Venezuelans in the U.S. following a new travel ban imposed by the Trump administration. The restrictions complicate visa processes for families separated by Venezuela's ongoing crisis. Those affected include Sasha Escalante, a radio producer battling serious health issues who has struggled to bring her elderly parents to the U.S. for years. With their previous tourist visas expired and new travel barriers, many Venezuelans fear permanent separation from their loved ones amid rising turmoil back home.
"Being away from family as a refugee is already painful, but now with added travel restrictions, the hope for reunification has all but disappeared."
"Despite the urgency of her situation, her request for a humanitarian visa to bring her elderly parents was denied, showcasing the hardships faced by Venezuelans trying to reunite with family."
