Iraqi refugee who worked as interpreter for Army released from detention

One of two refugees detained at John F. Kennedy Airport late Friday has gone free after President Trump signed an executive order that temporarily bars refugees and immigrants from entering the U.S.

Hameed Khalid Darweesh, who worked on behalf of the U.S. government in Iraq for the past 10 years as an interpreter for the U.S. Army following the invasion of Iraq in 2003, was released Saturday afternoon, announced New York Rep. Jerry Nadler on Twitter.
