President Donald Trump is reviving the travel ban from his first term, but with some key differences. The new policy, set to take effect on Monday at 12:01 a.m., bans citizens from 12 countries from visiting the United States. Those countries include Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. The order also imposes partial restrictions on visitors from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela."It can't come soon enough, frankly, we want to keep bad people out of our country,�� Trump told reporters on Thursday.Trump said in a video announcement on Wednesday that his administration conducted a security review of high-risk regions that took into account several factors, including inadequate vetting procedures, persistently high rates of visa overstays, and “the large-scale presence of terrorists.”Trump’s first-term travel ban was rolled out more quickly, causing chaos and confusion at airports across the country. It also led to a long legal battle that concluded when the Supreme Court upheld revised restrictions on largely Muslim majority countries. The new proclamation impacts a wider range of countries and includes more exceptions. Some legal experts say this could make the order more durable in court. The exceptions include green card holders, dual citizens, refugees who have already been admitted to the United States, and those granted asylum. It also includes those seeking visas through immediate family connections, as long as they can provide “clear and convincing evidence of identity and family relationship.�� Athletes traveling for the Olympics and the World Cup will also be exempt from restrictions. "The exceptions are great, but the overall impact of this policy is harmful and disastrous,�� said Adam Bates, senior supervising policy counsel for the International Refugee Assistance Project, which led a lawsuit against the first travel ban in 2017.Bates said Thursday that the group is still considering legal options. He also acknowledged that the previous Supreme Court ruling siding with the Trump administration could make the path forward more challenging for critics of the travel ban. “That's something that will that we have to deal with,�� Bates said. “I think that does make things more difficult moving forward.�� Nihad Awad, executive director for the Council on American–Islamic Relations, said the revamped policy remains overly broad, politically motivated, and unnecessary. "The fact that this iteration is more careful than the previous one doesn't make it just, doesn't make it right, and doesn't make it OK,�� Awad said. “It targets, unjustly, an entire population based on their ethnicities and backgrounds.”Trump said the list of countries subject to restrictions could be revised if security improvements are made. He also said additional countries could be added in the future if new threats emerge. One country notably not on the list is Egypt, even though Trump specifically pointed to an Egyptian man charged in Sunday’s terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, when he announced the new travel ban. Asked about that decision on Thursday, Trump said, "Egypt has been a country that we deal with very closely. They have things under control. The countries we have don't have things under control."
