STRENGTHENING NATIONAL SECURITY THROUGH COMMON SENSE RESTRICTIONS BASED ON DATA: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed a Proclamation expanding and strengthening entry restrictions on nationals from countries with demonstrated, persistent, and severe deficiencies in screening, vetting, and information-sharing to protect the Nation from national security and public safety threats.


The Proclamation continues the full restrictions and entry limitations of nationals from the original 12 high-risk countries established under Proclamation 10949: Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen.

It adds full restrictions and entry limitations on 5 additional countries based on recent analysis: Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, South Sudan, and Syria.

It also adds full restrictions and entry limitations on individuals holding Palestinian-Authority-issued travel documents.
It imposes full restrictions and entry limitations on 2 countries that were previously subject to partial restrictions: Laos and Sierra Leone.
The Proclamation continues partial restrictions of nationals from 4 of the 7 original high-risk countries: Burundi, Cuba, Togo, and Venezuela.
Because Turkmenistan has engaged productively with the United States and demonstrated significant progress since the previous Proclamation, this new Proclamation lifts the ban on its nonimmigrant visas, while maintaining the suspension of entry for Turkmen nationals as immigrants.

It adds partial restrictions and entry limitations on 15 additional countries: Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Benin, Cote d’Ivoire, Dominica, Gabon, The Gambia, Malawi, Mauritania, Nigeria, Senegal, Tanzania, Tonga, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
The Proclamation includes exceptions for lawful permanent residents, existing visa holders, certain visa categories like athletes and diplomats, and individuals whose entry serves U.S. national interests.

The Proclamation narrows broad family-based immigrant visa carve-outs that carry demonstrated fraud risks, while preserving case-by-case waivers.

SECURING OUR BORDERS AND INTERESTS: The restrictions and limitations imposed by the Proclamation are necessary to prevent the entry of foreign nationals about whom the United States lacks sufficient information to assess the risks they pose, garner cooperation from foreign governments, enforce our immigration laws, and advance other important foreign policy, national security, and counterterrorism objectives.


JUSTIFICATION TO PARTIAL BAN ON NIGERIA

Radical Islamic terrorist groups such as Boko Haram and the Islamic State operate freely in certain parts of Nigeria, which creates substantial screening and vetting difficulties. According to the Overstay Report, Nigeria had a B-1/B-2 visa overstay rate of 5.56 percent and an F, M, and J visa overstay rate of 11.90 percent.

Tinubu’s legacy.

Tinubu is the undisputed heavyweight champion of incompetence and corruption. A very terrible illegitimate president that has failed irreversibly

LegendHero:
This is Obidient legacy. Count Tinubu out of this.

Na una dey cry christian genocide dey go USA dey lobby. Now they don add you to the list, you should be very happy.

It is just so sad that they won't differentiate Christians from Muslims and only hand Christians visa. Northerners don't even travel to USA like the Southerners so I guess they wont even bear the pain.

Moreso, they also said because we overstay our visa is the second reason they added you. That did not start in 2023.

God bless America, Up Donald Trump.

CyynthiaKiss:
Would there be outcry about Chrtistian genocide if Tinubu had brought those animals to book ?
He refused to curtail their activities because he believes that Notherners would abandon him in 2027 if he dares to arrest those terrorists ..

LegendHero:
Go and check the statistics USA is using, most of the christian keelings they are referencing actually predates Tinubu administration.

That is the problem of you Obidients, you don't even understand the propaganda you push.

Northerners go just dey laugh. Wetin concern them with USA.

CyynthiaKiss:
We are still saying the same thing.. Why did Tinubu uphold Buhar’s legacy by pampering terrorists ?
