She told me that he doesn't want to go to the airport anymore. I thought that it was because he was afraid of ICE, but she said,"No. He feels like people would be afraid of him and he doesn't want to make anyone afraid" II feel so bad for him. He is a kind, gentle man who wouldn't do anything to hurt or make someone feel uncomfortable.
