You’re looking at Jamila Ali Abdu, 7, shortly before she died of malnourishment this week in the Red Sea port city of Hodeidah, Yemen. Reuters published this photo by Abduljabbar Zeyad.
Under President Trump’s travel/Muslim ban, this girl and others like her would have a zero chance of coming to America as a refugee. Jamila was hardly the picture of a terror threat.
On Monday, a rare court hearing will occur in Richmond. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals will meet en banc—that is, the entire group of judges will hear a case together (15 judges), rather than in a panel of three, as is the custom of federal courts.
The Richmond, Virginia-based court will examine a federal judge's ruling from Maryland that blocked the Trump administration from temporarily barring new visas for people from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen—the home to this deceased girl.
