When you thought it was safe to renew your passport, Trump’s travel ban is back—with a vengeance. Late last night, the White House announced sweeping entry restrictions for citizens from 12 countries, including Afghanistan, Haiti, Libya, and Yemen. Seven additional countries, including Venezuela and Cuba, face partial restrictions.
The official line? National security concerns. It’s like Trump’s controversial travel restrictions from his first term, upheld by the Supreme Court in 2018 but repealed by Biden. You’ve just got a political summer travel plan.
In Context: The administration is considering charging a $1,000 fee for tourist and nonimmigrant visas.
