Yemeni mum granted visa to visit dying son in US

US authorities have finally issued a visa to a Yemeni mother to see her dying son in California.

Shaima Swileh received a waiver from President Donald Trump's travel ban. Swileh wants to see her 2-year-old toddler before he is taken off life support at a hospital in Oakland.

Trump introduced a travel ban shortly after assuming office in January 2017. The controversial policy limits travel to the US by people from Iran, Libya, Syria, Somalia and Yemen.
