Jared Kushner Told Boris Johnson That Mo Farah Could Come Back
After a day of uncertainty--cresting with a Facebook post from Mo Farah this morning saying that "President Donald Trump seems to have made me an alien...I will have to tell my children that Daddy might not be able to come home,"--Farah will be able to return to the United States. Jared Kushner (Ivanka Trump's husband, Donald Trump's son-in-law, and a crucial advisor to the president), assured British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson that Farah and other Brits would be exempt from Trump's executive orders on immigration.
The report from British tabloid The Sun is hard to understand. It directly contradicts what State Department officials said on Saturday night. But it's clear that the current status of the executive orders will not bar Farah from returning to his home in Oregon when he returns from training in Ethiopia.
After today's news from the British Foreign Office, a spokesperson for Farah told the BBC that "Mo is relieved that he will be able to return to his family once his current training camp concludes. [He] still fundamentally disagrees with this incredibly divisive and discriminatory policy."
Farah is a four-time Olympic gold medalist.
