In June, President Trump built on the legacy of his first term by implementing a new travel ban under Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to “suspend the entry” of nationals from 19 countries. The initial action in June called for federal officials to suggest additional countries to ban.

That expansion has now come. On December 16, President Trump issued a newly enlarged travel ban, restricting the entry of nationals of 20 new countries (as well as the Palestinian Authority) and cutting back on exceptions included in the prior ban.

With this new ban in place, roughly 1 in 5 people seeking to immigrate to the United States legally are now barred from doing so, and hundreds of thousands more seeking nonimmigrant visas to visit or reside temporarily will now be unable to do so.
