According to Yarjani she said her ordeal began shortly after her flight landed Los Angeles on friday evening, when she handed her passport to am immigration officer. Sara Yarjani said was sure she'd waved through immigration as had happened before, reversed was the case she said less than 24 hours later she was deported.
" I had been on holiday in Canada to see my sister and then went to Austria and was coming back to resume classes" said Yarjani, a student at California Institute for Human Science, located north of San Diego.
" I was not expecting to be stopped," she said. "I had previously entered the country and was treated very well .... and gone through customs within minutes."
An immigration officer took her passport and ushered her to a waiting area.
Two female officers who barked orders patted Yarjani down as she stood against a wall with her arms raised. She was told to remove her shawl, her jewelry and shoe laces, and was asked to handover any cash as well as her cell phone -- all items were later returned to Yarjani.
Yarjani said after nearly four hours of waiting and questioning, during which she was allowed no phone calls, an officer compelled her to sign a form of agreeing to deportationon grounds, he claimed, that her student visa was no longer valid.
' Leave voluntarily or forcibly'
"The immigration officer to me 'you have two option- either you comply and agree to leave voluntarity ... or you will forcibly be deported and face a ban of one to five years or longer of reentry to the US',"she said.
"The way he was saying it was very threatening and I felt I had no choice"
Yarjani said she became aware of the mayhem caused by Trump's order when she was allowed, shortly after midnight, a quick call to her sister to let her know she was being deported.
