Expanded US Travel Ban Renews Fierce Debate

Aline Barros

   The United States will begin enforcing an[1]expanded travel ban on
   February 21, a move that the Trump administration says is critical to
   national security. But critics question the rationale behind the
   amended policy.

   Myanmar (Burma), Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Nigeria, Sudan and Tanzania are
   now part of an amended executive order that already maintains travel
   restrictions on some citizens from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and
   Yemen, along with Venezuela and North Korea.

   In announcing the expanded travel restrictions last week, the Trump
   administration signaled that security concernswere paramount.
