Iranian PhD Graduate Who Lives In America Denied Entry Back Into The Country

Iranian PhD Graduate Who Lives In America Denied Entry Back Into The Country

Awful.

Ever since it was announced that Donald Trump would be implementing an 'immigrant ban' in the United States, yet again he's come under fire.

The ban has angered many and will effect a lot of people, including Olympic gold-medal winner Sir Mo Farah. The British passport holder, who was born in Somalia, now living in the US, is understood to be away training in Ethiopia, meaning he may not be able to return to his family in America.

Mo took to Facebook to respond to Donald Trump's 'Muslim ban' that blocks travel to the USA from seven Muslim-majority countries, accusing Trump of "making him an alien".

In a similar situation is Nazanin Zinouri, from Tehran, Iran.

Nazanin is a PhD graduate who has been living in the USA for nearly seven years. However, after boarding a plane to return to the States after visiting her family in Iran, she was escorted off the flight.

Earlier in the day Trump had signed the the order that severely restricted immigration from several countries. The data scientist took to Facebook to voice her disgust at the situation, saying that "everything I worked for all these years doesn't matter".

Her story has now been shared over 150,000 times and has received over 138,000 'reactions'. It's really not hard to work out why.

Nazanin's life is in the USA, but in one day she is made to leave it all behind without warning.

Her dog is reportedly being looked after by friends, but she also has a job there, a house and her car is parked at the airport in Washington.

The executive order which was signed by Trump on Friday, says that anyone who isn't a citizen of the US, and is from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia or Yemen is now barred from entering the United States for at least 90 days.

There have been huge protests not only against this order, but the new president in general. Though there were a number of months to prepare for the 70-year-old to be inaugurated after his election win, it seems that it was actually impossible to prepare for.
