President Trump Signs Travel Ban for 12 African and Middle Eastern Countries
By The Blog Source
President Trump signed a broad travel ban that will go into force on Monday and targets 12 nations, primarily in the Middle East and Africa. This action revives and expands his first-term attempt to restrict access from designated countries with security lapses or high visa overstay rates.
Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen are among the nations listed in the complete prohibition. With few exceptions for those with valid visas, green cards, or special permissions—such as Afghans qualified under the Special Immigrant Visa program—citizens of these countries will not be allowed to enter the United States.
According to the declaration, additional restrictions will apply to citizens of Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela. Tourist visas, student visas, and permanent residency will no longer be available to citizens of such nations. In a video, Trump said the incident “has underscored the extreme dangers posed to our country by the entry of foreign nationals who are not properly vetted.” He further connected the action to Sunday's antisemitic firebombing in Boulder, Colorado.
A few days after an Egyptian national in Colorado faced accusations of carrying out a violent attack at a pro-Israel gathering, Trump made his decision. The administration cited the incident as evidence of what it claims was a lack of strict visa and vetting procedures under previous Democratic administrations.
In a video broadcast on Wednesday, Trump stated, "The recent terror attack in Boulder, Colo., has underscored the extreme dangers posed to our country by the entry of foreign nationals who are not properly vetted." "They are not what we want." Trump noted that the United States could not afford to replicate the mistakes made in Europe, where a surge in violent attacks and societal turmoil coincided with widespread migration from war-torn countries that are predominantly populated by Muslims. He said, "We will not allow America to experience what happened in Europe."
According to legal experts, this form of the prohibition is more likely to stand up in court. This proclamation was the result of months of internal deliberation and listed specific national security reasons, in contrast to the decrees released in early 2017 that were hurriedly issued and inadequately conveyed. The U.S. flagged the countries on the list due to their high rates of visa overstays or their failure to provide sufficient security data.
