Individuals from seven countries will not be able to travel to the United States starting Thursday, according to updated CBP guidance obtained by ABC News.
Earlier this year, President Donald Trump signed executive orders limiting travel from Burkina Faso, Laos, Mali, Niger, Sierra Leone, South Sudan and Syria — with those restrictions now going into effect Jan. 1.
This applies to both immigrants and nonimmigrants, according to the CBO document dated Dec. 29.
The White House says the restrictions are for national security and public safety reasons, while immigrant advocates say the ban targets African and Muslim countries.
