💨 Abstract
On June 9, 2025, President Donald Trump's new travel ban prohibiting citizens from 12 mainly African and Middle Eastern countries from entering the U.S. took effect. The ban, which includes heightened restrictions for citizens from seven additional countries, seeks to address "deficient" security screenings in these nations. Critics argue that the ban is divisive and not focused on national security.
