In the wake of a fatal shooting involving the National Guard in Washington, D.C., Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has called for an extensive travel ban, proposing to include at least 30 additional countries. This move follows recommendations from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) which highlights security concerns, with officials emphasizing the need to restrict travel from nations they believe are contributing to crime in the United States. The proposed ban has garnered support from prominent figures within the Trump administration, setting the stage for significant changes to U.S. immigration policy. Critics, including advocacy groups, have expressed concern about the implications of such sweeping restrictions.
