CIUDAD ACUNA, Mexico (Reuters) - Betania Dominique and Ener Montimar left Haiti nearly a year ago for a better life, a journey that eventually led them to a camp next to the Rio Grande river in Texas to await U.S. immigration processing.

On Sunday, Montimar, 42, was summoned by U.S. border officials to board a bus leaving the site, his wife said. She has not heard from him since.
