Trump’s New Travel Ban Targets 12 Countries, Sparks Backlash

Trump’s new travel ban is now in effect, barring citizens from 12 countries, including Afghanistan, Iran, Somalia, Haiti, and Libya, from entering the U.S.—unless they meet strict exemptions. The ban also imposes tighter restrictions on other countries, such as Cuba, Venezuela, and Sierra Leone. While it doesn’t revoke existing visas, new applications will be denied starting this week.

Critics say this immigration policy unfairly targets communities fleeing violence and hardship. Many argue it’s less about national security and more about stoking division. Trump cites poor screening and visa overstays, linking it to a recent attack, even though the attacker was from Egypt, which isn’t on the list.

Do you think this travel ban goes too far, or is it necessary for security?
