a little earlier i spoke
to mana yegani, an immigration
lawyer based in texas.
one of her clients was detained
when he returned to the usa
yesterday and was questioned
for several hours,
and i started by asking
her
what his experience had been.
he had a very tumultuous experience.
he felt like they treated
him like a criminal.
he has been living in the
united states for over ten years.
he's been a lawful, permanent
resident, a green card holder
for approximately four years now,
and he had travelled
to iran to visit his father
because he had heart surgery,
and he was on his way back
when donald trump signed
the executive order.
was he travelling on
an iranian passport?
yes, he had an iranian passport
and also his green card with him.
what has happened to him?
right now, he has been released.
