On June 4, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump signed a new proclamation reinstating strict travel restrictions, completely banning entry from 12 countries, many of which are Muslim-majority, including Iran, Libya, Somalia, and Afghanistan. Seven other countries, including Cuba and Venezuela, face targeted visa category restrictions. The move follows a violent antisemitic attack in Colorado and claims of security gaps in current immigration vetting systems. Critics warn the decision revives discriminatory policies and could impact diplomatic ties. The restrictions will be enforced starting June 9, 2025, at 12:01 a.m., pending legal and political challenges. (PC: India Today)
