The Trump administration's new travel ban is now in effect. It bans travel from 12 countries and implements a partial ban on an additional 7 countries, including Cuba and Venezuela.
President Donald Trump has said that the travel ban protects the United States from terrorists and public safety threats.
Haiti is the only country in the Western Hemisphere facing a full ban. The Family Action Network is advising all Haitian passport holders to talk to an attorney before leaving the U.S. While there are exceptions for lawful permanent residents and existing visa holders, immigration attorneys warned people could still face interviews or interrogations at airports.
