U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem has recommended a sweeping new travel ban ahead of President Donald Trump\u2019s scheduled national address. She proposes a \u201cfull travel ban on every damn country\u201d she accuses of flooding America with dangerous or dependent individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Noem\u2019s statement, posted on social media, argues the nation was built by Americans and should not support \u201cforeign invaders\u201d who she claims drain resources or commit violence. This follows last week\u2019s shooting in Washington D.C., reportedly by an Afghan national, which has intensified immigration debates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Department of Homeland Security indicated it will announce the list of affected countries soon. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Trump endorses the proposal to expand existing travel restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Currently, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has already halted requests from Afghanistan. Noem\u2019s recommendation seeks to significantly widen these measures, though specific nations were not named in her announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leavitt emphasized that entering the U.S. is a privilege, not a right, for those who respect American laws and values. The proposed ban aligns with the administration\u2019s stricter immigration stance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
President Trump is set to address the nation from the White House, where immigration and recent events in Venezuela are anticipated topics. His tweet previously declared Venezuelan airspace \u201cclosed\u201d to various groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The administration\u2019s push for broader travel bans signals a major policy focus, with further details expected following the president\u2019s public remarks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
