Source summary
President Donald J. Trump signed a Proclamation expanding U.S. entry restrictions on nationals from multiple countries deemed to have persistent deficiencies in screening, vetting, and information-sharing. The Proclamation continues full restrictions on the original 12 high-risk countries, adds five more for full suspension (Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, South Sudan, Syria), extends restrictions to Palestinian-Authority-issued travel documents, converts two previously partial bans (Laos, Sierra Leone) to full bans, and imposes partial restrictions on 15 additional countries. The policy includes exceptions for lawful permanent residents, existing visa holders, select visa categories, and national-interest cases, while narrowing some family-based immigrant visa carve-outs due to fraud concerns.
