On May 28, 2025, former President Donald Trump announced a new travel ban targeting countries that he deemed "don't have things under control." The announcement specified that the ban would apply to nationals from 12 countries, although the exact list of countries was not immediately disclosed. The policy is set to come into effect on Monday, May 29, 2025. The new travel ban is part of a broader effort to tighten immigration controls and enhance national security. Trump emphasized the urgency of the policy, stating that it "can't come soon enough." The ban is expected to impact travel and immigration procedures significantly, affecting both tourists and individuals seeking to enter the country for work or study. The announcement comes amid ongoing discussions about global security and immigration policies. The travel ban is likely to face scrutiny and potential legal challenges, as similar policies have in the past. The implementation of the ban will require coordination among various government agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department, to ensure compliance and manage the logistical aspects of the new policy. The impact of the travel ban will be closely monitored by international observers and human rights groups, who have previously criticized such measures for their potential to discriminate against certain nationalities. The effectiveness and fairness of the ban will be key points of debate as it takes effect.
