US EditionTrump's New Travel Ban Will Block 'Those in Need of Real Refuge,' American Jewish Committee Says - Jewish Telegraphic Agency
- President Trump announced a new travel ban on Wednesday, banning entry from 12 countries amid this week's Boulder, Colorado attack.
- Trump cited the Boulder attack, where 15 were injured by an Egyptian national with an expired visa, as the rationale for the ban.
- The ban includes full travel bans on 12 mostly Muslim-majority countries and severe restrictions on seven others, sparking criticism from many Jewish organizations.
- Amy Spitalnick called the ban discriminatory and said fears should not justify targeting that undermines democratic norms, while Amnesty's Agnès Callamard called it 'discriminatory, racist, and downright cruel.'
- Opponents warn the ban will harm refugees and longstanding immigration policies, potentially making all communities less safe despite administration claims about national security.
