Washington (CNN) The Trump administration drafted plans to renew and expand its travel ban list to include immigration restrictions on seven additional countries, according to sources familiar with the process. Unlike the travel restrictions currently in place, the new rules could limit certain immigrant visas from the additional countries, said a US government official -- essentially creating a partial immigration ban. Not all of the restrictions are uniform, said the official, adding that the proposal limits some immigrant visas from one country and other visas from another. President Donald Trump will make the final decision on changes to the ban. The anniversary of the first travel ban -- a Jan. 27, 2017 executive order signed by Trump that suspended refugee resettlement and barred nationals from seven majority-Muslim countries -- comes at the end of the month.
