Trump Expands Travel Ban to Over 30 Countries
Update: 2025-12-06
Description
The Trump administration plans to expand its travel ban to over thirty countries, following the Afghanistan shooting incident. The current ban, affecting twelve countries and restricting access for seven others, is set to grow. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem hinted at the additions, though specific countries were not mentioned. The administration has also halted asylum decisions, paused immigration benefits processing, and stopped visas for Afghans who assisted the U.S. war effort. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services reduced work permit validity periods for certain applicants. These measures aim to enhance national security, but critics argue they amount to collective punishment and traumatize individuals who have already undergone extensive vetting.
