Trump’s new travel ban set to take effect amid escalating tension over immigration enforcement
It is valid for President Donald Trump’s new ban to travel to the United States by citizens from 12 African and Middle East countries on Monday amid the escalating tension on the unprecedented president’s campaign to enforce immigration.
The new announcement, which Trump signed on Wednesday, applies to the citizens of Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. It also imposes increasing restrictions on people from Burundi, Cuba, Laus, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela outside the United States and do not hold a valid visa.
The new ban does not eliminate the visas that have been previously released to people from the listed countries, according to the directives issued on Friday for all American diplomatic tasks. However, unless the applicant does not fulfill the narrow standards for the ban on the ban, his request will be rejected starting from the two. Travelers who have previously released visas must be able to enter the United States even after the ban has become an effect.
The American -American American Luis Ghosti, who was at the airport on Sunday in Newark, said New Jersey, pending a trip to Florida, that many Haitians who want to come to the United States simply seek to escape violence and turmoil in their country.
“I have a family in Haiti, so it is annoying to see and hear,” said Louis Justi, 23, about the travel ban. “I don’t think it’s a good thing. I think it’s very annoying.”
Many immigration experts say that the new embargo is designed to overcome any challenge by the court by focusing on the visa application and it seems that it was carefully designed more than one executive order written in a hurry during the first period of Trump’s state that was deprived of the entry of citizens of Muslim countries mainly.
In a video posted on Wednesday on social media, Trump said that the citizens of the countries listed in the embargo are “terrorist” and “public safety” risks, as well as the risk of overcoming their visas. He also said that some of these countries “suffer from a lack” of examination and examination or historically refused to restore their citizens.
Its results are widely dependent on an annual report on internal security on tourists, businessmen and students who exceed American visas and reaching the air or sea, and sorting countries with high levels of citizens who remain after their visas.
Trump linked the new ban with a terrorist attack in Bulder, Colorado, saying that he emphasized the risks of some of the visitors who exceeded visas. The man accused of the attack is from Egypt, a country that is not listed on the restricted Trump list. US officials say it has exceeded a tourist visa.
The ban was quickly condemned by groups that provide assistance for aid and resettlement for refugees.
“This policy is not related to national security – it is related to the seed of division and distortion of societies that seek safety and opportunity in the United States,” said Abe McCman, President of Oxfam America, an international non -profit relief organization.
The government of Venezuela President Nicholas Maduro condemned the travel ban, describing it in a statement as a “campaign of shame and criminalization” against Venezuelan.
