Trump adds six new countries to travel ban list by CEDickson
Speaking to reporters on background Friday afternoon, officials with the departments of State and Homeland Security confirmed that Trump was signing a proclamation extending the list of countries subject to the travel ban to include Myanmar , Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Nigeria, Sudan, and Tanzania.
Story continuesThe restrictions will apply specifically to those seeking immigration visas from Burma, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan and Nigeria. For Sudan and Tanzania, the restrictions will only impact diversity visa applicants. The ban will not apply to refugees from these countries, a State Department official confirmed. They estimated that the regulations could potentially affect around 12,400 applicants annually, before applying waivers and other exceptions.

The original Muslim ban was revised multiple times amid a lengthy legal battle. Immigration advocacy and civil rights organizations won nationwide injunctions to temporarily block the government from enforcing the order from federal judges in New York and Washington state, as well as Maryland and Hawaii. In June 2018 the third and current version of the ban was upheld by the Supreme Court, which found it had “a legitimate grounding in national security concerns.
