President Donald Trump reinstated and expanded a travel ban on citizens from 12 countries, mainly from Africa and the Middle East, citing national security concerns. The ban is tied to an executive order requiring a review of countries with negative attitudes toward the U.S. Officials assert it aims to prevent terrorism and abuse of immigration laws. It impacts various nationalities and takes effect without an end date, raising debates over its implications for lawful residents and dual citizens amid ongoing immigration enforcement efforts.
The travel ban is part of a broader immigration enforcement campaign led by President Trump, framed as necessary for national security.
Trump’s administration highlights that the ban responds to an executive order aimed at assessing nations that hold hostile views toward the U.S.
The ban affects citizens from 12 countries, with an extension to seven others, focusing on national security and the risks of visa overstays.
Critics argue the travel ban could cause unjust hardship to individuals from these countries, further exacerbating tensions instead of promoting safety.
