Andrew Cuomo says an Iranian infant in need of a life-saving heart surgery who was banned from entering the United States after President Donald Trump's executive order will now be allowed to travel for the emergency procedure. The baby’s family planned to enter the country earlier this week after picking up a tourist visa in Dubai. The baby’s uncle, Samad Taghizadeh said Iranian doctors told the family that the infant needed at least one urgent surgery, maybe several, to correct the serious heart defects. The right thing happened tonight: the federal gov granted Fatemeh Reshad & her family documents to come to the US. The waiver comes on the same day that a federal judge in Seattle issued a ruling that temporarily halts Trump’s controversial ban.
