Good morning. It's Thursday, April 13. In our top story, a 73-year-old Iranian man -- the father of a brain surgeon in Tampa --- lands in Orlando after originally being deported under the Trump travel ban.

And finally, at OrlandoSentinel.com, check out our video of six Orlando restaurants being featured in upcoming episodes of Food Network's "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.''
