SUMMARY: President Trump’s travel ban on 12 mainly African and Middle Eastern countries takes effect tonight at midnight. The banned countries include Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. This full restriction was prompted by a recent attack in Boulder, Colorado, involving an Egyptian national and aims to improve vetting processes. Additionally, seven countries face partial restrictions due to poor vetting or intelligence sharing: Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, Venezuela, and Burundi. The ban resembles previous 2017 executive orders and is expected to face legal challenges.
