What to know about Trump's new travel bans

President Trump has announced a new travel ban, which will go into effect on Monday, targeting 12 countries with alleged security concerns. The ban is part of the administration's crackdown on unauthorized immigration. The affected countries include Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. The White House claims that these countries lack proper vetting, have high visa overstay rates, or fail to share identity and threat information. Critics argue that the ban is discriminatory and based on racial and religious animus. The ban has sparked controversy, with some arguing that it targets predominantly Muslim countries. The administration has defended the ban, citing the recent attack in Boulder, Colorado, as an example of the dangers of immigrants who overstay visas. However, others have pointed out that the ban omits some of the most egregious overstay offenders. The Supreme Court previously ruled in favor of a similar travel ban in 2018. Critics argue that the ban has no meaningful value as a national security tool and instead targets innocent people based on their country of origin.
