The Trump administration is expected to expand its travel ban to include around 30 countries, a bid to more aggressively curtail migration to the U.S. following last week¡¯s shooting of two national guard members in Washington.
A list of the countries being added to the ban is expected to come soon, according to a Department of Homeland Security official. The administration already has in place a full block on travelers from 12 countries, with partial restrictions on seven others.
President Donald Trump has threatened a number of actions to restrict migration to the U.S. following the attack in Washington, which killed one guard member and left another in critical condition. Federal authorities have identified the suspect as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, an Afghan national who worked with U.S. forces and the CIA in Afghanistan before arriving in the U.S. in 2021.
