Separated by the travel ban, these couples are recording videos to plead their case

Sitting in her office in Rockville Maryland, high-school teacher Jessica Breitschwerdt Monfared checked the image on her cell phone to make sure she was centered on the screen. She took a breath and pushed the record button.

"Hi, my name is Jessica Monfared," she said, raising a photo up to the camera showing her and a man, smiling, their arms around one another,"and I married my Iranian husband this past March, in Denmark." She and her husband, Pouya Monfared, applied the next month for a spousal visa so he could join her in Maryland."We are going through this process to follow the rules and bring him here properly," she said on the video.

Nope.

There’s nothing stopping them from leaving the USA to be with the people who are banned from entering.

Let’s talk about the caravans and show what’s going on in our border

Wasn't the travel ban only supposed to be 90 days, until the Administration could figure out 'what the hell was going on there'?
