The Trump administration isn't backing down from their controversial travel ban—they're reportedly considering expanding it even further
's travel ban has been one of the most contentious policies he's enacted while in office, spurring widespread protests and a series of legal blocks before it was ultimately upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2018. But despite the controversy it inspired, the Trump administration isn't backing down from the policy. In fact, they might be expanding it even further.
Per CNN, the travel restrictions would specifically target countries “that are not compliant with electronic documents and information sharing,” and fewer than five countries are currently under consideration for inclusion. The administration's goal, one official told CNN, is to “bring governments into compliance by using the power of access to the United States.
While the travel ban, which Trump first tried to enact just one week after taking office in 2017, was once one of the most high-profile policies of his presidency, drawing widespread condemnation as it wound through the federal court system, the policy has more recently faded from the headlines, becoming one in a long line of damaging and seemingly discriminatory policies undertaken by the current administration.
