A sweeping new travel ban on citizens from a dozen nations was announced by the White House on Wednesday, reviving a defining effort from the first Trump administration to crack down on entries from specific countries.
The article from CNN, dated June 5, 2025, discusses the Trump administration's travel ban, which was officially known as the "Presidential Proclamation Enhancing Vetting Capabilities and Processes for Detecting Attempted Entry Into the United States by Terrorists or Other Public-Safety Threats." Initially announced in January 2017, the ban targeted several predominantly Muslim countries, sparking widespread controversy and legal challenges. Over time, the list of affected countries evolved, with the final version impacting citizens from eight countries: Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela, Yemen, and Chad (though Chad was later removed). The ban was justified by the administration as a necessary measure to protect national security, but critics argued it was discriminatory and ineffective, pointing out that no terrorist attacks were prevented due to the ban. The policy was eventually rescinded by the Biden administration in January 2021, marking the end of a contentious chapter in U.S. immigration policy.
