He immediately claimed asylum in the U.S. because of his fear of persecution in Venezuela. Because he did not have any other U.S. immigration documents, E.L.V. was detained, transferred to a detention center in Florida, and served with a "Notice to Appear" (NTA). With the assistance of attorney Magdalena Cuprys, E.L.V. provided documentation to ICE, evidencing the persecution he had suffered at the hands of the Venezuelan National Police, such as arbitrary detention and death threats. He unsuccessfully sought the assistance of an attorney to receive government protection.

E.L.V. also had medical records of the physical injuries that he suffered as a result of his political activities. Ms. Cuprys commented that "E.L.V. is one of the many victims trying to flee Venezuela and seek asylum elsewhere. He had proof of the injuries he suffered, and ICE agreed in its discretion to release him from custody while we are working on his asylum case." The underlying case is "E.
