President Trump introduced updated travel restrictions that limit entry for people coming to the U.S. from eight countries, as the existing travel ban was set to expire yesterday. The new travel restrictions, set to take effect October 18th, would slow or limit entry from citizens of Chad, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen.
President Trump on Sunday signed off on updated travel restrictions that would limit entry for people coming to the U.S. from eight countries, as the existing travel ban is set to expire.
The new travel restrictions, set to take effect Oct. 18, would slow or limit entry from citizens of North Korea, Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen. North Korea and Venezuela were not listed in the earlier ban.
Iraqi citizens do not face the same travel restrictions, but will "be subject to additional scrutiny to determine if they pose risks" to U.S. security, the White House said.
The new policy could complicate the Supreme Court's review of the order. The high court is scheduled to hear arguments over its legality on October 10.
