President Trump's Oval Office exchange with a Nobel Peace Prize winner highlights the tension over immigration
The 26-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner stood just over President Donald Trump's right shoulder and recounted her harrowing experience in ISIS captivity during a meeting with survivors of religious persecution on Wednesday. "They killed my mom, my six brothers," Murad said."They are in mass graves." But ISIS' reign of terror was not confined to murder.
And it occurred the same week that news broke that the administration has also weighed the possibility of admitting no refugees into the country next year. In a meeting with officials from the State Department, Department of Homeland Security, the Pentagon and other agencies, several options -- including reducing the cap on refugee admissions to zero -- are being discussed, sources told CNN. There has been pushback on the zero option already, according to one source.
