Trump administration trying to deport widow of a man who was murdered in a hate crime..
The widow of Indian national Srinivas Kuchibhotla, who was shot and killed in a suspected hate crime in Kansas in February, faced deportation from the US after her husband’s murder till a lawmaker and others helped her get a one-year visa.
Sunayana Dumala lost her US resident status after Kuchibhotla was gunned down in a bar in Olathe, Kansas, on February 22 by a man who shouted racial slurs before he opened fire. Kevin Yoder, a Republican member of the house of representatives, said he became “apoplectic” when he heard the news and began working to help Dumala maintain her residency after she travelled to Hyderabad for her husband’s funeral and feared she would be unable to return to the US.
“We are not going to deport the widow of the victim of a hate crime,” Yoder was quoted as saying by The Kansas City Star.
