3 Countries That Should Be Next On Trump’s Travel Ban List

The Trump administration announced Tuesday it would halt immigration applications from 19 countries — but there are three countries that should be added to the list.

Following the deadly suspected terrorist attack in Washington D.C., allegedly by an Afghan national let in through President Joe Biden’s reckless Operation Allies Welcome refugee resettlement program, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) instructed personnel to place a hold on all asylum applications “regardless of the alien’s country of nationality” and “place a hold on pending benefit requests for aliens” from 19 countries identified by the administration. The agency also ordered a “re-review, potential interview, and re-interview of all aliens from high-risk countries of concern who entered the United States on or after January 20, 2021 is necessary.”

The announcement came after Department of Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem said on X: “Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom–not for foreign invaders to slaughter our heroes, suck dry our hard-earned tax dollars, or snatch the benefits owed to AMERICANS. WE DON’T WANT THEM. NOT ONE.”

The 19 countries are: Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela.
