A local Fox News affiliate is reporting that the Detroit business owner who told the network that his Iraqi mother died because of President Trump’s executive order on refugees and immigration was lying. As it turns out, she died days before Trump’s order was issued.
Wednesday evening, FOX 2 updated its story on Mike Hager, a U.S. citizen who had reportedly fled Iraq during the Gulf War and served as a U.S. Army interpreter for the Iraq War. Hager made headlines after claiming that the temporary confusion about the admission of green card holders had forced his severely sick 75-year-old mother to remain in Iraq instead of flying back to the States to receive emergency treatment. Hager claimed she died in an Iraqi hospital because of Trump’s order.
