Here is a small selection of the people affected by Donald Trump’s travel ban on nationals from seven Muslim-majority countries.
Nazanin Zinouri
Dog-loving Nazanin, from Tehran, Iran, has been living in South Carolina for the last seven years.
The PhD graduate says she travelled to Tehran on January 20 for her once-a-year visit to her home country.
She arrived in Iran but, as news spread about Trump’s ban on immigrants from Iran, she tried to get back to the USA as soon as possible.
Nazanin made it as far as Dubai before being prevented from travelling onto Washington.
She said: “It was shocking and I could not believe a country like the United States, that is all about acting based on law and supporting human rights, will keep someone who has lived there for almost seven years and have valid visa and documents from returning to her home.
“I humbly ask for your support in my return to the United States, to my home, my dog, my car, my career, and my friends. My story will be much like others who dedicated their lives to their dream – the American Dream – and whose intentions and lives were turned upside-down on Friday without notice or reason.”
