Trump’s new travel ban affects mainly African, Mideast countries

President Trump’s new travel ban is now in effect. The new proclamation prohibits travel to the U-S by citizens from 12 mainly African and Middle Eastern countries. It also imposes heightened restrictions on people from seven other countries who are outside the U.S. and don’t hold a valid visa. The ban is the latest move in the president’s escalating campaign of immigration enforcement — and was quickly denounced by groups that provide aid and resettlement help to refugees.
