A Bangladeshi-born chemistry professor, who narrowly escaped deported after a last-minute stay order, has returned to Kansas City. The chemistry professor, facing deportation for visa infringements, had lost an appeal in an immigration court in Kansas on Monday. According to his brother Syed Hussain Jamal, Jamal still appeared to be in shock and very emotional about seeing his wife and children. In the last 22 days, he has been detained in at least four different places, including at the Platte County jail. US Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins from Kansas has moved a “private bill” to grant the professor and his wife a legal permanent status.
