President Donald Trump expanded his travel ban on Tuesday, barring most nationals from seven countries and people with Palestine-issued documents from entering the U.S.
A new proclamation cites terrorism and visa overstays to ban people from Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, South Sudan, Syria and those with travel documents endorsed by the Palestinian Authority. The Trump administration also moved Sierra Leone and Laos to the full ban list, which now includes 19 countries.
Entry from travelers from 15 other countries — Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Benin, Cote d’Ivoire, Dominica, Gabon, The Gambia, Malawi, Mauritania, Nigeria, Senegal, Tanzania, Tonga, Zambia and Zimbabwe — with student, researcher, visitor and entrepreneur visas will be suspended under the new proclamation.
