A dad working for the U.S. Border Patrol in Arizona was denied a transfer to see his 4-month-old daughter in an intensive care nursery in Houston.

A family is fighting to stay together for their 4-month-old little girl in the intensive care nursery, but the father's job is denying him a transfer to be close to his daughter.

To add to what the family is already forced to go through, Ruby's father can't be with her. Matthew Schoelles works for the U.S. Border Patrol and is stationed in Arizona. He has been denied what they refer to as a compassionate transfer to be in Houston with his daughter.

"Newborn is not an immediate family member residing in the employee's household at his permanent duty station," a letter from Border Patrol Headquarters states, denying his transfer. Ruby is expected to have a long journey ahead with upcoming surgeries and the fear of the unknown. Clark just wants the father of her child to be there for their daughter and believes Border Patrol needs to re-write their policy.
