President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed a proclamation that bars citizens from a dozen countries from entering the United States, and restricted access to the U.S. for another seven countries.
The order is reminiscent of the travel ban that the president imposed during his first term against eight countries, which was upheld by the Supreme Court.
The countries outlined in the new order, which allows some exceptions, are Afghanistan, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Myanmar, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.
All 12 countries that fully restrict and limit nationals were deemed a significant risk to the U.S. because of inefficient screening and vetting processes.
