He didn't go into the shadows. He didn't hide. He applied for asylum
status. It was granted in 2015. He filed forms that would allow for his
wife and two daughters to follow. Those visas were issued last Tuesday,
on January 24. Originally, they had a flight that was scheduled to bring his wife
and these two little girls to the United States today, but last week,
when Fadi learned of the potential for this Executive order, he paid
$1,000 to move their flight up to Friday. His two little girls and his
wife got on a flight from Jordan to Kiev, Ukraine, and eventually to
the United States. But once in Kiev, their passports and their visas
were taken from them. They were sent to CBP. Their visas were rejected,
and they were returned to Jordan. These two little girls are back in their old apartment, but they got
rid of all their furniture. They got rid of all their clothes.
