nsnbc : Travelers to the United States from eight countries will face new restrictions under a revised travel ban order signed by U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday. The new rules, which take effect on October 18, affect citizens of Chad, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen. U.S. officials said these countries have refused to share information about terrorism and other issues with the United States.
The announcement on the modified travel ban late Sunday came as Trump’s previous temporary ban on visitors from six countries was expiring, 90 days after it went into effect. The earlier order had barred citizens of Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen from entering the U.S. unless they had a ‘credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States.”
The ban prompted some dispute because some opponents alleged that the ban was anti-Muslim and targeted Muslim-majority countries only. Not surprisingly, the most outspoken opposition came from Muslim Brotherhood affiliated groups like CAIR and the many western NGOs that have been deeply infiltrated by the Muslim Brotherhood. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, said the latest version of the ‘Muslim ban” that Trump tried to introduce on taking office earlier this year was part of the administration’s ‘ugly white supremacist agenda.”
Trump said in the new proclamation: ‘As president, I must act to protect the security and interests of the United States and its people. The restrictions announced are tough and tailored, and they send a message to foreign governments that they must work with us to enhance security.’ The new ban drops Sudan from the list but adds Chad, Venezuela and North Korea to the original six countries. ‘North Korea does not cooperate with the United States government in any respect and fails to satisfy all information-sharing requirements,’ the presidential declaration said.
Venezuela was cited for failing to cooperate ‘in verifying whether its citizens pose national security or public-safety threats. ‘U.S. officials also said the Caracas government does not willingly receive Venezuelans deported by the United States. Chad, a ‘valuable and important’ counter-terrorism partner, failed to share terrorism-related and other public safety information, the proclamation said.
