Bassam Abu Assali, who was detained with his family upon arrival in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and was forced to board a plane back home to Syria because of U.S. President Trump's executive order, speaks during an interview with The Associated Press at his shop, in Damascus, Syria, Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2017.

He added he would still like to live in the United States if he is allowed and that he believes “America has democracy, freedoms and human rights” despite what happened. (AP Photo)
