One week ago, the new U.S. President Donald Trump issued an Executive Order Banning Immigrants from seven Muslim countries from entering the United States for 90 days.

This ban put a lot of people and workers in jeopardy from entering the country.

A George Mason University student from Libya who had gone home for a few days and while she was there the Trump Ban took effect and she could not get back in the United States.

 

Her name is Najwa Elyazgi, a senior with a student visa, was in Istanbul last week when she was told she couldn’t board a connecting flight back to the U.S. because of Trump’s order halting immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries.
After a federal judge temporarily blocked the ban, Elyazgi flew into Dulles International Airport Saturday night. She calls the experience “a nightmare” and says she’d been panicked over whether she’d be able to finish her degree.

 

She said her only goal was to finish her degree at George Mason.
