Dismay and disbelief as Trump bans visitors from a dozen countries

Tensions rose as officials and residents in several countries whose citizens are now banned from entering the U.S. expressed disappointment over President Trump's sweeping travel ban. The administration has intensified its immigration crackdown with a new order barring citizens of 12 nations from entering the country starting Monday, citing concerns about "foreign terrorists." Similar bans during Trump's first term led to bans on travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries between 2017 and 2021.
