Re:

Dear Judge Chutkan:
This letter is to update the Court on Plaintiffs' travel and immigration status. This afternoon,
Plaintiff Saido Abdille landed at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and was allowed to
enter the United States. She is now classified as a lawful permanent resident of the United
States.
At approximately 7:00 p.m. EDT, Plaintiff Samaneh Raghimi was allowed to board a KLM
flight to Amsterdam, Netherlands, for the first leg of her flight to Minneapolis, Minnesota. She
is currently scheduled to arrive in Minneapolis on February 6, 2017, at 12:50 p.m. CDT.
Counsel for Plaintiffs suggest that the parties and the Court conduct a conference call tomorrow
morning to discuss whether the Court wants to proceed with tomorrow's hearing. By tomorrow
morning, Counsel should have more information regarding whether or not Ms. Raghimi has been
allowed to board her flight to the United States.
This letter is being electronically filed, and the parties will be served via PACER.
Sincerely,

?,~
