Trump’s New Travel Ban Targets Afghans and Pakistanis

Former President Donald Trump has initiated a new travel ban that could significantly impact Afghan and Pakistani citizens, preventing them from entering the United States. Sources familiar with the matter revealed to Reuters that the ban, set to be announced imminently, aims to restrict travel from these countries, marking a significant escalation in Trump's immigration policies.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has issued a stern warning to immigrants from Pakistan and other countries potentially affected by the ban. CAIR advises against traveling overseas during March, citing the potential for being barred from re-entering the U.S. This move has sparked widespread concern and criticism among immigrant communities and rights groups.

The New York Times reports that this new ban is part of a broader strategy by Trump to tighten immigration controls, reflecting his administration's hardline stance on immigration. Critics argue that such policies not only infringe on human rights but also could have severe economic repercussions for the affected countries and the U.S. itself.
