An Iranian engineer who had been blocked from returning to South Carolina by President Donald Trump's travel ban against seven Muslim nations returned to the U.S. on Sunday, her employer said. A federal judge on Friday temporarily blocked the travel ban following a lawsuit by Washington state and Minnesota that said Trump's order is causing significant harm to residents and effectively mandates discrimination. Zinouri said she rushed to return to the United States before the Trump administration could persuade other judges to reinstate the ban. Graham told people at Zinouri's workplace in Clemson, South Carolina, that the Clemson University graduate "is exactly the type of person we want to be part of America." "What I think happened here is the executive order was issued without really thinking it through."
