The complicated case doesn't directly challenge President Trump's travel ban, but it does deliver a rare lower-court legal victory on one aspect of the ban, which has restricted visits and immigration from a number of majority-Muslim nations. The case had been at the nexus of two controversial policies: Mr. Trump's travel ban and the diversity visa lottery, which doles out immigration passes based on chance. But before they had a chance to finish the process Mr. Trump imposed his travel ban, which in its original form denied entry to people from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Sudan and Yemen. The lottery winners argued their spots should be preserved so they could claim them once the ban expired or was ruled illegal. But after Mr. Trump released a third — and current — version of the travel ban, the Supreme Court dismissed challenges against the previous versions without ruling on the legality.
Trump's travel ban imperils U.S. citizen with cancer
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Maziar Hashemi, a naturalized U.S. citizen who lives in Massachusetts, has been told by doctors that his best hope for surviving a rare form of blood cancer is a bone marrow transplant. Patient Maziar Hashemi (L), who has the cancer Myelodysplastic syndrome, and his wife Fereshteh wait to meet with his transplant doctor at a hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S., March 26, 2018. Hashemi's brother in Iran is a perfect match for a bone-marrow stem-cell transplant, but it is uncertain if his brother can travel to the U.S. from Iran for the procedure because of the travel ban restrictions.

President Donald Trump's travel ban could make that impossible. Although the ban allows for case-by-case waivers to be granted, including for medical need, Kamiar Hashemi has so far been denied a visa.

"Can you imagine that the cells of an Iranian needed in order to help a U.S. citizen are embargoed?" said Maziar Hashemi, a civil engineer who has lived in the United States since the 1970s.
