As someone who worked on this at DHS as a national security official—I have a lot to say about the travel ban. I warned that it would be significantly worse in a second Trump term. 43 countries?! What justification are they going to use this time? https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/14/us/politics/trump-travel-ban.html?unlocked_article_code=1.4E4.5uQV.hqZj-ETdZAeU&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

@Olivia what would be your thoughts? I am truly concerned.
Open to suggestions.

That is how incompetent and inefficient the Trump bigots are.
Maybe not visa-specific restrictions, but 'travel warnings' against former allies does not seem out of character for the administration.
It has no regard for safety, security, empathy, or law:
Because I said so!
Trump must feel threatened by the concept of a National Happiness Index. Doesn’t want the US to get any subversive ideas. He’ll be the one to tell us when we’re good and happy, dammit, no one else!
They seem to be banning travel from 'boogeyman' countries yet are happy to release J6 criminals who have actually committed terrorist acts in the USA.
And, cities in the US, Canada, and Mexico host the men's World Cup in 2026. I see few international tourists coming for those games in America.
He didn't ban travel when those foreigners were bring COVID here. But now he wants to do it? LOSER!
It seems like on every front (the word front with it's military connotation seems appropriate) the US is becoming more hostile, even internally.
