Photos show a two-year-old boy on life-support in California, whose Yemeni mother was granted a visa waiver to enter the US, according to the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Two-year-old Abdullah Hassan, a US citizen like his father, suffers from a rare genetic brain condition and is on life support in a hospital in Oakland, California. But his mother, Shaima Swileh, had been unable to join him due to President Donald Trump's order barring visitors from six countries including Yemen.
