A prominent Iranian cancer researcher traveling to Massachusetts to work at Boston Children’s Hospital has been detained at Logan International Airport along with his wife and children, according to the hospital.
The detention of Dr. Mohsen Dehnavi, who holds a visiting work visa that was issued in May, comes two weeks after the Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration could largely enforce an executive order that would ban people from six Muslim-majority countries, including Iran, from entering the United States. The court also ruled that the ban couldn’t apply to visitors who already held valid visas.
So even though he holds a visa, he and his family are being detained. He's coming here to try to save kids' lives. Shame.
