So now trump is responsible for some dude killing himself?

Considering he would still be alive if his family wasn't banned thanks to a policy he personally enacted yeah he is

So why didn't the dude try to get the right paperwork and what not before. Why wait so long. Trump has absolutely nothing to do with this dude dying.

Five days after his suicide, the government issued waivers for his family. Waivers are exemptions from the travel ban granted if the government decides that the denial of visas would cause undue hardship, their issuance are in the U.S. interest and the applicants dont pose security risks.

The only visas that are getting issued are extreme cases that hit the media, said Julie Goldberg, an American lawyer with an office in Djibouti. In June, Goldberg won a class action lawsuit in federal court to reissue visas for Yemenis in Djibouti, like Salems family, who had theirs revoked after the travel ban.

It shouldnt be a tragedy that happens in order for someone to get a waiver, Goldberg said.

A week after Salem died on July 18, his family stepped onto U.S. soil too late to attend his funeral.


they already had visas that were revoked by the travel ban.
