Dr. Suha AbushammaSubmitted
CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Cleveland Clinic will hold a news conference this afternoon to discuss a Sudanese internal medicine resident who was denied entry into the U.S. per President Donald Trump’s executive order on immigration.
The news conference will be held at 1 p.m. Exactly what the Clinic will be addressing was not immediately clear, as an email from a spokeswoman only said that the Clinic would provide an update on the status of Dr. Suha Abushamma.
Abushamma, 26, was detained at an airport in New York on Jan. 28 when she arrived in the U.S. after a trip to Saudi Arabia. The doctor is from Sudan, one of seven Muslim majority countries named in Trump’s order limiting travel.
