US EditionTrump travel ban in effect, citizens from 12 nations barred from US
- President Donald Trump announced a new travel restriction targeting nationals from a group of 12 countries, primarily located in Africa and the Middle East, which will come into effect on Monday, June 9, 2025.
- Trump signed the proclamation last Wednesday amid escalating tension over immigration enforcement and linked the ban to a recent terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado.
- The ban focuses on visa application rejections, does not revoke existing visas, imposes heightened restrictions on seven additional countries, and follows guidance issued to U.S. Diplomatic missions last Friday.
- Trump said the ban addresses terrorism risks, deficient screening, and visa overstays, while critics like Abby Maxman of Oxfam America call it divisive; Haitians like Elvanise Louis-Juste described it as upsetting.
- The ban's enforcement may deepen political and international controversy, as it echoes previous policies and has drawn condemnation from groups and foreign governments like Venezuela.
