Trump’s new travel ban differs from his first term
- The Trump administration announced a new travel ban on Wednesday barring entry to US citizens of 12 countries, effective Monday, June 9.
- This ban revives a first-term policy targeting mostly African countries and others based on national security and visa overstay concerns.
- The list includes countries with high visa refusal rates, limited vetting, terrorism risks, and non-cooperation on removals, with partial restrictions on seven additional countries.
- President Trump said, "We don't want them" and cited a recent terrorist attack in Boulder by an Egyptian man as justification, although Egypt is not on the ban list.
- The ban renews an aggressive immigration stance with exceptions for green card holders and others, while legal experts anticipate ongoing challenges to its enforcement.
