Trump Administration Restricts Travel From Nigeria, Five Other Countries by xarxes(m): 10:27pm On Jan 31, 2020 |
The Trump administration announced Friday it will restrict the ability of immigrants to travel to the United States from six countries. The government will curb the ability of citizens of Nigeria, Myanmar, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Sudan and Tanzania to get certain immigration visas, according to officials with the Department of Homeland Security and State Department, but it is not a blanket travel ban. The officials cited national security concerns in identifying those countries, saying those governments do not meet requirements for information-sharing and passport security. President Trump was expected to sign a proclamation approving the restrictions on Friday afternoon, and it will go into effect on Feb. 22. The announcement comes just over three years after Trump first announced he would impose a travel ban targeted several Muslim-majority nations. An altered version of that ban was later upheld by the Supreme Court, and travel from Iran, Libya, Syria, Somalia, North Korea, Venezuela and Yemen is still restricted. The expanded ban is certain to be challenged in courts, and former diplomats have expressed confusion over the inclusion of Nigeria in particular, warning that restricting travel from some of those countries will harm American interests. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/trump-administration-restricts-travel-from-nigeria-five-other-countries/ar-BBZwVxJ?li=BBnb7Kz |
