Update on Sima Fallahi

Word from Congressman David Price’s office this evening that Sima Fallahi will be able to remain in Charlotte for now. There had been concern that she would be taken to Atlanta as soon as this weekend in preparation for a court hearing on her case.
Price, incoming chair of the appropriations subcommittee that will oversee the DHS budget, recently spoke with DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff about the case. Price’s office received word this afternoon from DHS that Fallahi will be able to remain in Charlotte and closer to her 11-year-old daughter “for the time being.” She will probably be taken to Atlanta closer to her hearing date.
