In 2017, he represented a woman whose daughter needed to come to the United States from Iran for eye surgery.
One of the parents convicted in the ongoing college admissions scandal pointed to his own legal work while petitioning the judge for a lighter sentence. Attorneys for Gordon Caplan, himself an attorney and a father who paid to alter his daughter's ACT scores, highlighted how he helped a mother impacted by President Donald Trump's travel ban ahead of his sentencing Thursday.
Along with having a clean record and a family that needed him, the memorandum pointed to Caplan's charitable nature, which included pro bono legal work. The memorandum cited one case in particular involving an Iranian woman, her daughter who needed eye surgery and Trump's travel ban. Her young daughter, according to Diller, has a rare congenital disorder called glycosylation and planned to travel from Iran to Pittsburgh for"critically needed surgery." Despite having a valid visa, since the daughter's travel plans coincided with the week that the ban was implemented, she couldn't come to the United States.
"Gordon and the team worked tirelessly to seek an exemption from the ban for [Kashkooli's daughter]," Diller wrote in his letter to Talwani."When the travel ban was enjoined, Wilkie Farr attorney Shaimaa Hussein flew to Istanbul to accompany [the girl] on her flight to the U.S. to be on hand should a problem arise when she sought entry."
