Abstract
ISTANBUL — For Mohammed, an Iraqi civil engineer, the cruelest experience of his life was not when his father tortured him for being gay. […] As Mohammed tells it, the cruelest blow instead came this past week, when the United States Supreme Court agreed to reinstate Mr. Trump’s 120-day freeze on refugee resettlement.
