«Breaking News» Yemeni boy, 2, whose mom sued the U.S. to see him in hospital has died

The two-year-old son of a Yemeni woman who sued the Trump administration to let her into the country to be with the ailing boy has died, the Council on American-Islamic Relations announced.

Abdullah Hassan died in UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital in Oakland, where his father Ali Hassan brought him in the fall to get treatment for a genetic brain disorder. Shaima Swileh is not an American citizen and remained in Egypt while fighting for a visa.

'We are heartbroken. We had to say goodbye to our baby, the light of our lives,' Ali Hassan was quoted as saying in the statement published Friday by the council.

A funeral is scheduled for Saturday.

Hassan is a U.S. citizen who lives in Stockton, California. Hassan and his wife moved to Egypt after marrying in war-torn Yemen in 2016.

Swileh had been trying to get a visa since 2017, so the family could move to the United States.

Citizens from Yemen and four other mostly Muslim countries, along with North Korea and Venezuela, are restricted from coming to the United States under President Donald Trump' s travel ban.

When the boy's health worsened, Hassan went ahead to California in October to get their son help, and Swileh remained in Egypt hoping for a visa. As the couple fought for a waiver, doctors put Abdullah on life support.

'My wife is calling me every day wanting to kiss and hold her son for the one last time,' Hassan said, choking up at a news conference earlier this month.

He started losing hope and was considering pulling his son off life support to end his suffering. But then a hospital social worker reached out to the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which sued on Dec. 16, said Basim Elkarra, executive director of the group in Sacramento.

The State Department granted Swileh a waiver the next day.

'With their courage, this family has inspired our nation to confront the realities of Donald Trump's Muslim Ban,' said Saad Sweilem, a lawyer with the council who represents the family. 'In his short life, Abdullah has been a guiding light for all of us in the fight against xenophobia and family separation.'

Swileh held her son for the first time in the hospital on Dec. 19.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
