## Transcript

My mother and siblings received approval to come to the US at the end of 2016. But after the travel ban, they were not able to come. We are covering some breaking news on US president Donald Trump's travel ban. The federal judge granting a Washington attorney general's request to immediately hault president Trump's executive order on immigration. Nationwide. [ NOISE ] [ FOREIGN ] [ FOREIGN ] [ FOREIGN ] [ FOREIGN ] Hi how are you? So nice to meet you. Thank you for having us. Yeah of course thanks for coming really. You can have a seat right there. [ FOREIGN ] [ FOREIGN ] [ LAUGH ] We are flying with the plane.

[ LAUGH ] [ FOREIGN ] It was just that kind of feeling that now I can relax. [ FOREIGN ] [ MUSIC ] The people who come to the state are people who are looking for better future. Myself I decided to become American citizen because in my country I felt no justice. I feel like all of these countries that are currently debating whether or not to help these people have been been helped by others. What if all the windows in all of the buildings in this whole of Manhattan didn't have glass anymore because of bombing and stuff. It's like if I think of my home and I think of having to leave it with nothing, my God.

That, it's just unimaginable. I think everyone of us has a personal responsibility to lend a helping hand to those who are in need. There is a Greater Power that puts Dawn, Steven, Summer along the way. And I think that what happened to me is something that will prepare me to Be there for other people. [ MUSIC ] [ BLANK_AUDIO ]
