Travel Ban: Zokari and Convenience Store

travel ban: Zokari was born in New York, but his parents are from Yemen, one of the seven countries listed in Friday's executive order, according to CBC. It's also where he met and married his wife four years ago. But now his two-year journey to bring his wife to the U.S. has been put on hold. Soon after, Zokari began the process that would bring her and his 13-month-old daughter to the U.S. But when the travel ban went into effect, everything was put on hold. Steven D'Souza/CBC News It's just a mixed bag of emotions, I wouldn't want anyone to be in my shoes, Zokari said, speaking from his family's convenience store in New York's Lower East Side. Horan Zokari's wife and 13-month-old daughter are stuck in Yemen, unable to complete the two-year immigration process that would bring them to the U.S., all because of the executive order temporarily banning anyone from one of seven Muslim-majority countries.
