US EditionTrump travel ban in effect, citizens from 12 nations barred from US
UNITED STATES, JUN 9 – The ban targets 12 countries with high visa overstays and poor security cooperation, restricting travel to protect U.S. national security, officials said.
- President Donald Trump’s revised travel restrictions barring entry to individuals from a dozen countries across Africa and the Middle East began enforcement on Monday.
- The ban resulted from legal challenges to an earlier executive order and aims to address visa overstays and security concerns linked to a Boulder terrorist attack.
- The proclamation bars entry for nationals from a group of primarily African and Middle Eastern countries, including Afghanistan, Myanmar, and several others, while also increasing visa restrictions for travelers from additional nations such as Burundi, Cuba, and Venezuela who are currently outside the United States without valid visas.
- U.S. officials said the man charged in the Boulder attack overstayed a tourist visa, and Trump said the attack highlighted risks from visa overstays.
- The ban sparked condemnation from refugee aid groups and some supporters angered by Afghanistan's inclusion, although exceptions exist for Afghans holding Special Immigrant Visas.

What are your thoughts on Trump banning travel from 12 countries of color, while allowing white South Africans to claim refugee status in Atlanta?
Jeremiah Turner Atlanta “I think unfortunately it sends the wrong message that color sometimes can equate to personality type. I think that because he is the brand, the view, the look of what America is, it gives this energy that America only supports a certain color and that’s not the case at all.
