Cardinals outfielder Fowler disappointed with Trump travel ban

Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler is expressing disappointment at President Donald Trump's travel ban, ESPN is reporting.

Fowler’s wife, Darya Baghbani, was born in Iran, one of seven majority-Muslim countries that the executive order restricted visas from.

The couple was planning on bring their daughter, Naya, to visit family, but is putting off the trip because of uncertainly about the ban.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal has blocked enforcement of Trumps executive order; the administration says it may issue a new executive order.

"It's huge," Fowler told ESPN's Mark Saxon. "Especially anytime you’re not able to see family, it’s unfortunate,” Fowler said.
