My family is heartbroken

I am an American Muslim living in the Bay Area. Recently, my sister who's a Yemeni citizen interviewed at the us embassy in Malaysia and everything went well until she received a letter denying her and her family visa based on Donald Trump's ban. My family is heartbroken. Oh did I mention that my father, a US citizen since the 70's, filed this application on my behalf of my sister back in 2003? I am beyond heartbroken because I know the only reason my sister was denied a visa is because of the Muslim ban.
