Trump Administration

In Donald Trump’s first month in the US presidential office, he created an executive order to ban travel to 7 countries that have predominantly Muslim populations. A 12-year old Yemini girl was not allowed to fly with her family to the US from Yemen after Trump’s executive order went into effect. After a week, a federal court paused enforcement and the 12-year old child was able to fly to California and meet her family while the travel ban was being halted.
