See what Donald Trump's Muslim ban is doing
to Americans:
I normally don't write long posts or any kind of political or
religious comments.
I apologize in advance and I don't expect my friends to read this long long past!!

But today I just couldn't hold it any longer. Friday 1/20/17
started like any other normal day. I was excited about my trip to Tehran. After
all I only get to visit them once a year. I was excited and anxious at the same
time. I was worried about my little puppy but I couldn't wait to see my
mom...
It was an uneventful trip. I made him home on Monday 1/22/17,
after around 28 hours, exhausted but so so happy. We were all happy. I was
going to eat lots of delicious Persian food and make tons
of great memories and go back to my life in the US. But the happiness didn't
last that long. On Wednesday, we started hearing rumors about new executive
orders that will change immigration rules for some countries including Iran.
Soon we started reading drafts like everyone else. I might be banned from going
back?!?! No that can't be true. I'm not gonna let that ruin my trip. But then
it got serious so fast.
Before I knew it, it was actually happening. Even though I didn't
want to leave my family, I quickly booked a ticket to get on the next flight
back. Only a few hours after the order was signed, I got to the airport, got on
a plane and made it to Dubai. After waiting in the line to get my documents
checked and after 40 minutes of questions and answers, I boarded the plane to
Washington, only to have two TSA officers getting in and ask me to disembark
the plane!!!
Yes after almost 7 years of living the the United States, I got
deported!!!
No one warned me when I was leaving, no one cared what will happen
to my dog or my job or my life there. No one told me what I should do with my
car that is still parked at the airport parking. Or what to do with my house
and all my belongings.
They didn't say it with words but with their actions, that my life
doesn't matter. Everything I worked for all these years doesn't matter.
I just had to say it...
I just had to say it...
