Proof of Trump’s corruption? Only people from Arab/Muslim countries where he doesn’t have business interests have been banned. Saudi Arabia epicenter of global terror– no problem! C’mon in! Trump’s building towers there! Who gets banned? Iraqi and Afghan refugees who devoted years of their lives to helping the U.S. war efforts were detained Friday night at U.S. airports due to President Donald Trump’s executive order targeting Muslims and refugees attempting to enter the country.

At least two Iraqis with ties to U.S. operations overseas were detained late Friday at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport.

One of the men, Hameed Khalid Darweesh, had worked for the U.S. government for 10 years, including as an interpreter. He was stopped upon landing at JFK Airport on Friday night, although his wife and children were let through, Brandon Friedman, a former colleague of Darweesh’s, told The Huffington Post.

He had been detained around 6 p.m. on Friday, Darweesh said in a press conference at JFK following his release on Saturday. He was placed in several rooms and questioned for many hours.

But despite his ill treatment at U.S. government hands, Darweesh offered praise at the news conference. America “is the greatest country in the world,” he said.

The second man, Sameer Abdulkhaleq Alshawi, is a refugee who was rejoining his wife and child in America. His wife, who had worked for a U.S. government contractor, had come to this country a few years earlier, The Washington Post reported.

Trump is a corrupt bigot and fool. Americans will die when no one will work with us. Why should they? We just betrayed the thousands of Arab Muslims who stepped up to help our military.

And now this useful information from Slate:

In the aftermath of President Donald Trump’s executive order banning refugees and citizens from seven predominantly Muslim countries, media reports have highlighted the stories of Iraqi interpreters who worked for the U.S. Army and now cannot enter the United States; of legal permanent residents who’ve been prohibited from entering the country; and of people with dual citizenship who’ve been barred from boarding flights to the U.S. Immigration lawyers have massed at airports in New York, Chicago, Washington D.C., and elsewhere to help those in limbo, and protesters have made their voices heard outside those same terminals.

If you’re enraged by the administration’s actions, below is a list of organizations that helps refugees and provides legal assistance to those in need. If you’ve personally been affected by Trump’s executive order or know someone who has, let us know by emailing [email protected].
