A Trump voter is stunned to find her Syrian relatives deported

A Syrian-American Trump supporter had her family turned away from the US. Now, she has a message for the President. 

Also: Iranian scientists in the US consider leaving the country; Julius Krein launches a new political magazine to define the ideology of the Trump era, two Iranian brothers say Trump reminds them of their former leader, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. We end with a song composed by Syrian musician Kinan Azmeh, back in 2005, while in detention in a New York city airport.
