8 weeks ago, a new Trump travel ban

Full U.S. travel ban In June 2025, President Trump issued Proclamation 10949, which fully bars citizens from entering the U.S. (immigrant and non‑immigrant visa ban) from the following 12 countries: Afghanistan

Myanmar

Chad

Republic of the Congo

Equatorial Guinea

Eritrea

Haiti

Iran

Libya

Somalia

Sudan

Yemen Partial travel restrictions Citizens of these 7 countries face restricted access to most visa types (immigrant, tourist, student, exchange), though certain categories may still be permitted: Burundi

Cuba

Laos

Sierra Leone

Togo

Turkmenistan

Venezuela Exemptions Certain individuals are exempt from the ban, including: U.S. permanent residents

Dual nationals

Diplomats and government officials

Participants in major sporting events (e.g., World Cup, Olympics)

Individuals on pre-existing valid visas issued before June 9, 2025 www.usvisawizard.com/...

Same old, same old...but what did Bhutan do to get on this list; they do refuse to recognize the US.

2017 version. The 2025 ban will fully restrict entry of nationals from 12 countries: Afghanistan; Myanmar, also known as Burma; Chad; Republic of the Congo; Equatorial Guinea; Eritrea; Haiti; Iran; Libya; Somalia; Sudan; and Yemen.

The 2025 ban will fully restrict entry of nationals from 12 countries: Afghanistan; Myanmar, also known as Burma; Chad; Republic of the Congo; Equatorial Guinea; Eritrea; Haiti; Iran; Libya; Somalia; Sudan; and Yemen.

Citizens subject to the partial restrictions will be barred from permanently immigrating to the US and applying for student and tourist visas. They will still be eligible for some temporary visas. “The recent attack in Boulder, Colorado has underscored the extreme dangers posed to our country by the entry of foreign nationals who are not properly vetted, as well as those who come here as temporary visitors and overstay their visas,” Trump said, referring to an Egyptian national arrested for allegedly attacking Jewish people on Sunday. Egypt was not among the countries subject to a ban. www.mediaite.com/... x COLLINS: The Boulder attack was part of the reason for Trump's travel ban MULLIN: I wouldn't say that COLLINS: *plays clip of Trump saying Boulder is a reason for it* MULLIN: He didn't specifically say Egypt

President Trump has targeted the citizens of a dozen countries as part of a new ban on travel to the United States and restricted travel from several more. “The ban will fully restrict entry of nationals from 12 countries: Afghanistan; Myanmar, also known as Burma; Chad; Republic of the Congo; Equatorial Guinea; Eritrea; Haiti; Iran; Libya; Somalia; Sudan; and Yemen.” The restrictions touch more parts of the world and will most likely affect more people than similar travel bans that were introduced during the first Trump administration. All travelers who are citizens of countries in the first tier will be barred entry, while those countries in the second tier face the suspension of certain visas. The introduction of the 2017 travel ban led to immediate chaos and confusion as hundreds of travelers were detained at airports across the country and more than 60,000 visas were provisionally revoked. Federal judges blocked the ban within a week. Overall, travel from the countries banned in 2017 was relatively low to begin with, though people from Iran and Syria had arrived in the thousands each month. A back-and-forth in the courts throughout 2017 delayed implementation, and then the Covid pandemic hit, halting travel globally. But after President Joseph R. Biden Jr. lifted the bans in January 2021, travel from those countries — and from Chad, Libya and Yemen — more than rebounded. www.nytimes.com/... x 'Prejudice and bigotry': Trump travel ban slammed as a 'political move' to instill 'fear' https://twp.ai/4inFCb

x The last time he pulled this Muslim ban BS, people rushed into the streets in disgust & lawyers raced to the airports to help. Now, no one’s shocked, everyone is numb… This country is in seriously scary shape — Emily Nussbaum (@emilynussbaum.bsky.social) June 4, 2025 at 9:58 PM
