Nearly five months into his second term, Donald Trump announced a new sweeping travel ban that could reshape the US’s borders more dramatically than any policy in modern memory. The order, banning citizens of 12 countries, came into effect at 12am ET in a move Trump said would protect the country from “foreign terrorists”.
The proclamation represents one of the most ambitious attempts to reshape the US’s approach to global mobility in modern history and potentially affects millions of people coming to the US for relocation, travel, work or school.
