New Trump-Era Travel Ban Takes Effect with Limited Disruption

The Trump administration’s newly expanded travel ban took effect Monday without major disruptions at U.S. airports, a stark contrast to the chaos following the original 2017 ban.

The new policy bars entry for travelers from 12 countries and places partial restrictions on seven more.

Protests remained limited, with demonstrators appearing in select cities including New York and Los Angeles. In NYC’s Foley Square, protesters held signs like “No Racist Ban” and “Immigrants Are New York!” Critics linked the policy to the administration’s broader immigration crackdowns, including recent raids in California.
