A woman who lived in America since 1995 has died a day after being turned away from the US as a result of Donald Trump’s executive order to ban people from seven predominantly Muslim countries, according to reports.

Mike Hager, the woman’s son, said his sick mother was turned away from boarding a US-bound flight from Iraq, despite showing her green card, after the family decided to return from a visit when the 75-year-old fell ill.

One day later, Mr Hager said, his mother died.

Iraqi-born Mr Hager described his shock when he had to take his mother away from the airport terminal in her wheelchair — the last time he would see her — saying the Trump administration had "destroyed" his family.
