The Yemeni mother of a 2-year-old boy on life support in an Oakland hospital is being prevented from coming to the country to say goodbye to her son by the Trump administration ban on travel from certain Muslim countries, the child’s family says.

Sad story but the family seems to want to have the best of both worlds. Live in the USA but keep close ties with Yemen. My family came here from Ireland whey back when and stayed here. Sorry but you want the culture of Yemen and the benefits of the USA and sometimes that doesn't work out.

Wonder who is paying for this...
Oh I guess we better let everyone in then so she can get in instead of making an exception for her.
/s
Wheres the rest of the story ???
The woman is the wife of an American citizen...whats wrong with her that shes personally banned from the US ???
The ban is for people who have no ties to the US who have never been here before etc...
Did the State Dept know about this situation before it was fed to the media ???
The child has been here for 5 months why didn’t the mother come with the child or come here since ???
Maybe its her country/religion etc that’s keeping her there...
Is the father a moslem ??? then maybe it was him who refused to bring her here...
I don’t care
Yes, innocents do pay a price in any situation where it is difficult to identify the innocent from the trouble makers.
Yes, police have been known to stop every motorist on a road on a weekend nite, doing an alcohol check to try to spot the drunks before they injure or kill someone on the road. All the innocent drivers are treated as potential drunks until the police decide they are not.
Vetting folks from Middle East conflict zones is 100s of times harder if not impossible, with past history of too high a rate of error.
And the point of this story is....????
Send the whole family back where they came from.
Selective narrative.
Mommie is stuck in Egypt.
Daddy brought child from Sweden.
Trump’s fault.
From post #2: #orangemanbad
Yes, lots of unanswered questions.
World’s smallest violin for her. Why is the boy here without mama? Is she on a terrorist list?
I stopped caring too.
.
That’s right. The kid is dieing. What difference does it make?
My “Things to care about” list...
Ok, this does not make the top 1000 list. It could be higher or lower but it appears that meaningful details have been left out of this story.
Yemeni, Sweden, Egypt..USA... What up with all that hoppin around? Only people with a professional designation of Terrorist or Money Launderer has that kind of passport...
she can’t get in legally?
My give a damn thingy appears to be broken.
This man-bun “father” is 22, but has SEVEN children with mom? Good God, how old is the mother?
Sad to see. I’d think Trump could issue a waiver/reprieve. With stipulations.
