Syrian refugee Ahmad Alabood answers a question during an interview in Kansas City, Mo., Friday, Jan. 27, 2017. Alabood, whose family was the first to be resettled in the U.S. as part of the U.S. "surge" refugee program, says President Donald Trump should help topple Syria’s regime rather than press to close off U.S. borders to more refugees. Alabood’s assessment Friday through a translator came hours before Trump signed an executive action imposing "new vetting measures" that he says are aimed at keeping "radical Islamic terrorists" out of the U.S. (AP Photo/Orlin Wagner)
