North Carolina families 'extremely worried' over Trump Administration's new travel ban

The article from ABC11 discusses the concerns of North Carolina families affected by the Trump administration's new travel ban, which was set to take effect on December 8, 2017. The ban expanded restrictions to include travelers from North Korea, Chad, and certain Venezuelan government officials, in addition to continuing restrictions on travelers from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen. Families expressed worry over the potential separation from loved ones, with some individuals already facing difficulties in obtaining visas.

Critics of the ban argued that it was discriminatory and did not enhance national security, while supporters believed it was necessary to protect the country.
