Will the Cheetolini furiously tweet tonight at 3 am?


A refugee who was detained in a New York airport due to President Trump's immigration ban has been released into the U.S., two lawmakers announced Saturday.

Hameed Jhalid Darweesh, an Iraqi who worked for the U.S. government in Iraq for 10 years, was barred from entering the U.S. at first when he landed at Kennedy Airport in New York on Friday night, hours after Trump signed his executive order.

Reps. Nydia Velazquez (D-N.Y.) and Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) announced outside the airport Saturday that Darweesh was being released.
