“An overseas Oklahoman who hasn’t been on the Sooner soil for more than a decade is now fighting to come home. Forty-three-year-old Saadiq Long lives in Qatar where he teaches English. In April, the U.S. Air Force veteran was told he was on the Department of Homeland Security’s no fly list. He’s been fighting to get taken off the list ever since, but now he’s running out of time. Long’s mother who still lives in McAlester is terminally ill. Long will try to fly back to Oklahoma this week to visit her, perhaps for the final time. Long, a U.S. citizen, hasn’t been given a reason for why he’s on the list.”
