A Clemson PhD graduate, Nazanin Zinouri wrote a Facebook post last week which has been shared over 223,000 times. She explains that a routine trip to visit her family in Iran led to her temporary deportation soon after President Trump announced his immigration ban.
This weekend, Zinouri was able to start her journey back home to the Upstate, and will land at GSP Airport at 12:30 p.m. today.
This was made possible by a decision from a federal judge in Seattle, which temporarily halted Trump’s executive order on immigration and travel. “It’s just amazing, unbelievable really,” Zinouri said yesterday. “Everything that I lost I have back now. It’s great.”
Saturday, Trump tweeted “the opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!”
