TRUMP ADMINISTRATION EXPANDS TRAVEL BAN TO SIX MORE COUNTRIESThe Trump administration is expanding restrictions to include Burma, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Nigeria, Tanzania and Sudan. Those are added to the current seven countries already included in the ban: Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen. The initial ban was branded by critics as a “Muslim ban,” noting that President Trump had promised such a ban during his campaign and that the initial countries (which did not include North Korea and Venezuela, but did include Chad) were Muslim-majority countries. She said that the House Judiciary Committee will mark up and send the “NO BAN Act” to the House floor. The expanded travel restrictions are one of a number of ways the administration is trying to enhance efforts to better vet potential immigrants.
