What to know about the travel ban and who they can affect
The immigration law allows presidents to ban travel in the United States, but President Donald Trump’s ban is more clear than in the past.
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump is expected to ban or strictly ban the US travel by citizens of more than a dozen countries, including Iran and Venezuela on Friday.
Trump ordered his administration to set the standards and procedures of testing and screening to enter the United States and present a list of countries that could not be met. By March 21. Following this order, a initiative has been taken from the first day of the campaign and Trump.
He directed the officials to identify and possibly remove the citizens from the allotted countries entering the United States during the Biden administration.
The resulting operations could be much faster than the travel ban, which Trump had put on seven majority Muslim countries during his first term, accusing airports and litigation.
Trump issued several versions of the ban in 2017 until he retains the Supreme Court, and his recent executive order instructs members of his cabinet to extend his place when he steps out.
This time, Trump went through another rigorous process to enforce his expected travel ban, demanding sanctions on the level of information to the international passengers collecting and providing countries. And when its executive actions face legal challenges, it will benefit from the conservative Supreme Court even more.
A list of allegedly more than 40 countries whose citizens can be prevented or restricted from entering the United States. The list includes Afghanistan, North Korea and even the younger Bhutan, the majority of the Himalayan nation.
The State Department refused to comment on Thursday afternoon.
Trump demanded a travel ban on the first day
Trump Said as a candidate That he will restore his travel ban, citing the need to save the country from “radical Islamic terrorists”.
His January 20 executive order calls for cabinet members to submit a report to the countries.
The report should also be identified in the report, “How many citizens of these countries have been entered or entered from these countries,” from January 20, 2021, on the first day of the Biden’s term of employment.
Trump entrusted four people to prepare the report: Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Attorney General Palm Bondi, Homeland Security Secretary Christie Noem, and Director of the National Intelligence Tulsi Gibard.
It seems that the Trump administration is forming its second -term ban in a different way, which has created a three -tire list of nations that do not provide the United States with the level of information it is looking for or is considered by personnel as a threat to national security.
The countries on the “red” list will be fully banned by the United States, while visa restrictions on the Central Countries, or the “Orange” list will face visa restrictions. The administration will give notice to a lower level of nations that they need to address the problems.
According to, traveling from 11 countries can be banned New York TimesWho received a draft list of recommendations for travel ban. He is Afghanistan, Bhutan, Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen.
Earlier, Trump had banned travel from most countries on the list, with the exception of visas and green card holders. Bhutan and Cuba were not part of Trump’s former travel ban. The State Department lists Cuba as a terrorist state sponsor.
10 more countries, including Russia and Belarus, will see visas rapidly limited. The remaining 22 countries, including many African countries, will have 60 days to address security concerns. They may eventually join the list or completely leave the list by their response.
Writers reported on a similar memo. The list was not finalized, the shops were warned, and perhaps the Foreign Secretary may not have approved.
“All these countries will likely not survive from being included in the list, because the staff is only considering what they were told, and their instructions were to give their instructions,” said Chad Wolf, former acting Vice President of Trump’s First Policy Institute, said. “But there are more decisions about whether a country gets a travel ban.”
Wolf added, “There are other geographical political issues.” That’s why it goes to the Foreign Secretary. That is why others will also lose weight on these decisions. “
Less focus on Muslim -majority countries
Based on the publicly reported, Wolf said that it seems that the administration intends to tell the countries that they will have travel restrictions unless they exchange their information with the United States or provide some data.
One factor that the administration is likely to take into account is how often a country loses or steals passport data in Interpol.
Wolf, who worked on Trump’s first travel ban, said, “What we have received for the first time was not only reported by many countries that it was not reported in a timely manner.”
The State Department denied the existence of a list earlier Saturday, saying it did not create memories that circulate.
“There is a review here, as we know through the President’s Executive Order, so that we see the nature of the United States to deal with the visa issue and allow the United States to protect the United States,” said Temi Bruce, a spokesman for the department on Monday.
Unlike Trump’s first repetition in 2017, reports, which faced judicial challenges for discrimination against Muslims, is not fully focused on Muslim -majority countries. Bhutan, Cuba, North Korea and Venezuela are being considered for allegedly banned but they do not have a Muslim majority.
A court issued in January 2017 stopped Trump’s first travel ban, saying the order violated the rights of the people without proper justification for national security. His administration replaced the second version in March 2017, which Another court blocked. The Supreme Court upheld the third repetition of its travel ban, which it signed in September 2017.
In its 2018 decision, the Supreme Court outlined a long process that the government used to create a third travel ban, highlighting that some foreign citizens could be exempt from travel ban, and they argued that the Trump administration was working in the “interests of legitimate national security”.
The process was described by Trump in his January 20 executive order on January 20. But critics have indicated that they could challenge the latest aspects of the administration’s new policies, including the efforts to impose visa restrictions on those entering the country during Trump’s post.
The International Refugee Relief Program, one of the first administration’s trial groups, said its next steps would depend on what the expected ban was.
“Our team will analyze as soon as these challenges can look like,” said Stephanie Ji, senior director of US legal services in the IRAP.
“The extent to which the arguments are to be made that this action is illegal, there are many organizations that want to bring challenges.”
When can travel ban?
Trump is already seen implementing a part of his executive order, allowing the Homeland Security Secretary to “take immediate action” so that he can exclude a foreign national from countries without any proper testing standards.
The order refers to the advocacy of “defamatory attitudes” as the reasons for “foreign terrorist” groups “groups” and “citizens, culture, government, institutions, or foundation of foundations” and potential removal.
The Trump administration deported a kidney doctor this month after an attempt to enter the country on a flight to Boston. The Department of Homeland Security said it had “sympathetic photos and videos” from a Hezbollah leader on his phone.
Department “A visa is a privilege that is not right said on x. “The praise and support of terrorists killing Americans is the basis for denying the issuance of a visa. This is a workmanship security.”
“I am a Shiite Muslim,” officials say, according to Dr. Rasha, according to USA Today Network. “He is a religious personality. He has nothing to do with politics. They are all religious, spiritual things.”
Federal authorities Also arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a pro -Palestinian activist who studied at a graduate school at Columbia University. Khalil was legally in the United States.
After his arrest, Rubio said, “We will cancel Hamas supporters’ visas and/or green cards in the United States to be deported.”
The State Department on Thursday acknowledged that it was reviewing all visa programs, as compulsory by Trump’s order, but refused to say whether he had made any formal recommendations or when he could be implemented.
The Trump administration report recommends travel ban to countries.
