Somali refugee family lands in Kansas City amid travel ban delays
A Somali mother and her eight children arrived at Kansas City International Airport after legal fights over President Trump's travel ban delayed their entry. Local volunteers welcomed the nine refugees with signs, gifts, and a four bedroom house ready in Northeast Kansas City. Della Lamb Community Services will sponsor the family as they begin their American life, with older children set to take local jobs to support the family. A San Francisco appeals court recently blocked the travel ban, ruling against its scope and authority.
