Trump's New Order Expand Travel Ban Up to 8 Countries



The new order of President Donald Trump on 24th September, has caused a new turmoil as Trump’s former travel bans sparked international outrage and legal challenges.  The new restrictions will be targeting travellers from the previous list and also adds Venezuela, North Korea, and Chad to the new list.
Starting October 18th the citizens of Iran, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Chad and North Korea will be prohibited from entering the United States,  as Trump has mentioned in his Sunday night proclamation.  All of those countries nationals also be suspended from acquiring immigrant visas. The travel restriction will be be applied to the countries officials whom the Trump administration claimed it blamed for unable to spread public safety and terrorism-related information on incoming travellers.
In the new proclamation released by the White House, Mr. Trump implied that the travel ban is the president’s current effort to hinder America from incoming terrorist, criminal, and another security issues. 
“As president, I must act to protect the security and interests of the United States and its people,”  He also added that “we cannot afford to continue the failed policies of the past, which present an unacceptable danger to our country. My highest obligation is to ensure the safety and security of the American people, and in issuing this new travel order, I am fulfilling that sacred obligation.”
In contrary with the previous travel ban, officials stressed that the new travel ban regulation is more coordinated than the former as the officials had been working hand in hand with a wide range of agencies and with concern of foreign governments. This new order will establish different set of travel restriction for each of the countries, though in most cases citizens of the countries will be unable to emigrate to the United States permanently.

Reaction regarding the president’s announcement was swift, as some critics have charged Trump of trespassing his legal authority and violating the U.S. Constitution’s protections against religious bias each time he has ordered new travel restrictions. Moreover, the inclusion of Venezuela and North Korea appeared to be an effort to block challenges from advocacy groups and others who have called the restrictions a ban on Muslims. However, administration officials firmly argue the measure is necessary to keep Americans safe.
