2 Christian Syrian families detained at PHL, returned to Qatar

Two Syrian families -- who are Christian -- were detained at Philadelphia International Airport on Saturday morning and sent back to Doha, Qatar, by federal authorities because of President Trump's new executive order on refugees and immigrants, a relative in Allentown said Saturday.

They were traveling with immigrant visas and were approved for green cards, said Sarah Assali, 25, of Allentown.

Assali said her six relatives — two of her uncles and their wives, as well as a 17-year-old son and 19-year-old daughter of one of the couples — had arrived in Philadelphia on Saturday morning from an 18-hour flight from Doha. They are from Damascus.

So, we are blocking all peoples from these countries, not just the Muslims.  I guess they didn't want to block a certain religion.

Hmmm... what happened to the announcement from the Trump administration that persecuted Christians would get preference?

I'm going to -guess- that "wires got crossed" here...
