Farah affected by Trump policy

-

Four-time Olympic champion Mo Farah has criticized U.S. President Donald Trump’s immigratio­n policy, saying Sunday the temporary travel ban “seems to have made me an alien.” Farah is a British citizen who was born in Somalia, one of seven predominan­tly Muslim nations subject to the executive order signed by Trump that bars entry to the United States. Farah currently is training in Ethiopia. His wife Tania and four children are in Portland, Ore., where the Farah family has lived for the last six years. “It’s deeply troubling,” the 33-year-old Farah said on his Facebook page, “that I will have to tell my children that Daddy might not be able to come home.”
