WASHINGTON (Reuters) -A Venezuelan-born Catholic priest with a valid U.S. religious worker visa was temporarily denied re-entry to the U.S. this week, and was only granted admission following an appeal by Miami's Catholic archbishop, his office said in a statement.
The temporary denial of entry to Father Gustavo Santos came after President Donald Trump in June partially restricted entry to people from Venezuela and six other countries. Individuals on religious worker visas were not included in those restrictions.
