The stories of passengers detained across the nation

In the wake of President Donald Trump's executive order limiting immigration from countries with known ties to terrorism, nearly 30 passengers have been detained in four airports across the nation, with hundreds more denied entry across the world.

Here are a few of the stories that have emerged from American airports across the country.

Sarmad Assali says each have Visas that were approved after a long, costly and legal process.

"We have gone through all the proper channels, paid all of these fees. They were supposed to arrive this morning at 7:45. At 8:30, we got a call from the airport authorities saying do not bother to come and pick up your family we are sending them back," said Sarmad Assali.
