H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com Centegra Health System surgeon Dr. Amir Heydari checks on his patient while preparing for surgery Monday at Centegra Hospital – Huntley. Heydari was held for questioning Sunday at O'Hare International Airport after President Donald Trump's immigration policy was put into place. “For the most part, it was just standard questioning I’ve been asked before, but this time it was a little different,” Heydari said. “It just felt like the only reason I was pulled out of the line is because of my country of origin.” (H.
