US widens travel ban to more than 30 countries, Noem says

The expanded travel ban targets countries lacking stable governments and vetting cooperation, affecting both immigrants and non-immigrants, amid heightened security measures after a recent shooting.

  • On Thursday, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the United States plans to expand its travel ban to more than 30 countries, adding, `I won't be specific on the number, but it's over 30, and the president is continuing to evaluate countries.`
  • Following last week's Washington, D.C. shooting that left one National Guard personnel dead and another seriously injured, investigators identified Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national shooter.
  • The administration has paired the expansion with other measures, stating travel ban covers 12 countries banned and seven restricted, plus paused asylum decisions and green card applications re-examination this year.
  • Affected people would include both immigrants and short-term visitors, including tourists, students and business travelers, while immigrants already in the United States face no immediate action.
  • The move fits a broader push to tighten migration controls, marking a further escalation of migration measures since last week's shooting and reviews of asylum cases and Green Cards for 19 countries.
