US Department of Homeland Security secretary Kristi Noem<\/a> says list will expand to more than 30 countries \u2013 key US politics stories from 5 December 2025
The US plans to expand the number of countries covered by its travel ban<\/a> to more than 30, the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Kristi Noem<\/a>, has announced.
The bans apply to both immigrants and non-immigrants, such as tourists, students and business travelers. It expands on the list of 19 countries already facing travel restrictions, which includes Afghanistan, Burma, Burundi, Chad, Cuba, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Laos, Libya, Republic of the Congo, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sudan, Togo, Turkmenistan, Venezuela and Yemen.
Noem did not specify which countries would be added to the list.
Immigration groups and lawmakers sharply criticized the escalation and plan to halt applications from the 19 countries already named, a decision that comes amid reports that naturalization ceremonies for people on the travel ban list are also being canceled<\/a>.
\u201cI won\u2019t be specific on the number, but it\u2019s over 30, and the president is continuing to evaluate countries,\u201d she said in an interview with Fox News.
An expansion of the list would mark a further escalation of immigration measures the administration has taken since the shooting of two national guard members in Washington DC last week.
