A constituent from Concord, MA, came into my office in Boston just
this morning--Monday, January 30, 2017. She came looking for more
information on the current status of the Muslim ban, on behalf of her
husband, who was originally born in Iran. She explained that when he was young, he received refugee status in
Australia for religious persecution, as he was raised in the Baha'i
faith. He now has dual citizenship in Iran and Australia and is a green
card holder of 10 years here in the United States. He is the vice
president of a startup company that requires him to travel outside the
country often but has decided that, because of the latest Executive
orders, to stay grounded in the United States until further notice. He
is currently safe in the United States.
