Iranian infant hoping for OHSU surgery banned from entering U.S.

A 4-month-old Iranian girl in need of heart surgery has been unable to travel to Oregon for the procedure due to the immigration ban put in place by President Donald Trump last week barring immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries, her uncle said.
The infant, whose name is Fatemah, was diagnosed with a heart condition and told she needed surgery. Doctors in Iran did not have the equipment needed for the procedure, so her parents turned to Oregon Health & Science University, one of the top hospitals in the country for pediatric heart surgery, her uncle, Samad Taghizadeh, told The Oregonian/OregonLive.
"They said she has a very serious problem, that this is an emergency and we need to do the surgery right now," he said.
Taghizadeh lives in Portland with Fatemah's grandparents, all three of whom are U.S. citizens, and he helped translate all the necessary paperwork as the family prepared to apply for a tourist visa.
