The consequences of a crumbling democracy led me to leave my country 🇻🇪 and my family in order to attain my professional goals. Never did it cross my mind that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) policies could at some point jeopardize my medical training (again).

If you know a J-1 physician, speak up!. There are over dozen categories of J-1 visa classifications-- the physician category is one. The ICE proposal should NOT apply to physicians in training.
