Kassar, a Syrian national, was granted asylum in 2015 and came to the U.S., working to get the proper approvals in place for his family to come join him.
Two years later, his family was finally approved and in the process of making the long journey to Connecticut. But, while they were in flight, Trump signed the order banning all Syrian nationals indefinitely. So, his Syrian wife Razan and daughters Hnan, eight, and Lian, five, were not allowed to board their connecting flight in Ukraine, had their visas revoked, and were sent back to Jordan.
With waivers in place, today they arrived in the U.S. and the family was reunited.
