New York — New York Governor Andrew Cuomo says an Iranian infant banned from entering the United States for life-saving heart surgery under President Donald Trump’s executive order, will now be allowed to travel for the emergency procedure.
Cuomo said on Friday that Manhattan’s Mount Sinai Medical Centre has offered to perform the surgery. But the family reportedly chose to do it in Portland, Oregon, where they have a relative.
The baby girl’s family had planned to enter the country earlier this week after picking up a tourist visa in Dubai. But they were abruptly turned back as travellers of one of seven predominantly Muslim countries targeted under the president’s executive order.
Cuomo says he worked with the International Refugee Assistance Project to help secure a waiver of Trump’s order.
