President Donald Trump's immigration ban is on hold as the executive order behind it makes its way through the courts, allowing family members stranded by the ban to reunite and refugees to enter the US after fleeing their countries.
The executive order, which Trump signed on January 27, temporarily suspended travel from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, and Syria. It also indefinitely barred Syrian refugees from entering the US and temporarily halted all refugees from entering the country.
Three judges will decide as soon as Thursday whether to allow the ban to be enforced as the executive order is further debated in court.
Here are the stories of families who did get to arrive in the meantime:
