Some nations affected by u s immigration order may stay on list
You're referring to the potential implications of the US immigration order, also known as the "travel ban" or "Muslim ban", which was introduced by the Trump administration in 2017.
The order, officially known as Executive Order 13769, aimed to restrict travel to the United States from certain countries deemed to be a national security risk. The initial list of countries included:
- Iran
- Iraq
- Libya
- Somalia
- Sudan
- Syria
- Yemen
However, in 2017, a federal court blocked the order, and it was later revised and reissued as a new executive order, known as Proclamation 9645. The revised order removed Iraq from the list and added Chad, North Korea, and Venezuela.
In 2018, a federal court again blocked the order, and it was further revised and reissued as a new proclamation, known as Proclamation 9723. The revised order removed Chad, North Korea, and Venezuela from the list, and added Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Myanmar (Burma), Nigeria, and Tanzania.
As of 2021, the current list of countries affected by the US immigration order is:
- Eritrea
- Kyrgyzstan
- Myanmar (Burma)
- Nigeria
- Sudan
- Syria
- Tanzania
- Yemen
It's worth noting that the order has been the subject of ongoing legal challenges and controversy, with many arguing that it is discriminatory and unconstitutional. The order has also been criticized for its impact on refugees, asylum seekers, and other vulnerable populations.
In recent years, the US government has taken steps to relax some of the restrictions imposed by the order, including the introduction of new visa programs and the expansion of refugee resettlement. However, the order remains in place, and its implications continue to be felt by individuals and families around the world.
