Trump Travel Ban Impact

Summary

Trumps travel ban, Executive Order 13780, impacted Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, North Korea, and specific Venezuelan officials. While entry was generally restricted, exemptions and waivers were available for individuals with valid visas, green card holders, and certain family relationships. When in effect, the ban could bar individuals from these countries unless they qualified for an exemption or waiver. For specific situations, understanding eligibility for waivers or exemptions is crucial.
