Travel restrictions enacted by the Trump administration earlier this year have expanded to include 20 additional countries.
The administration announced restrictions for 19 countries this summer. Back then, Afghanistan and Iran were some of 12 countries where travel to the U.S. was outright banned. Venezuela and Cuba were among seven others facing new restrictions.
Citizens from Burkina Faso, Syria and three other countries will now also face full bans from U.S. entry — along with anyone with travel documents issued by the Palestinian Authority. Fifteen other countries face partial restrictions.
Restrictions take effect Jan. 1 and include both visitors and those hoping to move to the U.S. People with permanent residency or existing visas are excluded.
The changes come amid a flurry of policy shifts for immigrants and refugees — including a complete pause on all asylum applications announced earlier this month.
