As the Iran Times has reported in the past, more than 100 Iranians were stranded in Vienna when President Trump announced his visa ban two years ago. They were brought to Vienna as part of a congressional program to help Iranians from ethnic minorities. But Trump applied the ban to them, as well. After two years, the Trump Administration has still done nothing to admit them to the US. The Catholic diocese in Vienna is now trying to help them with housing and food and to garner refugee status in Austria.
