Refugees anticipate family reunions, instead endure doubt
From married couples to mothers and daughters, President Donald Trump’s executive order banning refugees from certain countries has created profound uncertainty for families in America and abroad.

Trump’s order temporarily halted the entire U.S. refugee program and banned all entries from seven Muslim-majority nations for 90 days.
