Trump announces the prohibition of traveling in 12 countries and partial restrictions for another 7
Citizens of a dozen countries will be forbidden to enter the United States from Monday under a proclamation signed yesterday by President Donald Trump, who framed the decision as necessary to reinforce national security and combat terrorism. Seven more countries will face partial travel restrictions.
The 12 countries aimed at the ban are mainly found in Africa or Asia. They are: Afghanistan, Chad, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Myanmar, Republic of the Congo, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.

Several of the countries regularly refused to accept the return of their nationals or had visa rates on the Trump administration considered “unacceptable,” according to proclamation. Others on the list, including Sudan, Yemen and Somalia, were included for inappropriate detection and research measures.
In addition, seven countries will be under partial travel restrictions, in which the entrance to the US was suspended in several visa programs, but a direct prohibition was not implemented. Those countries are: Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela.
There are some exemptions, even for any legal permanent resident of the United States, as well as diplomatic visas and visas of immediate family immigrants, among others. There are also exemptions for adoptions, two citizens with passports from countries and athletes or teams traveling to the United States for the World Cup or Olympic Games.
In a White House video, Trump cited the recent attack in Boulder, Colorado, as a justification for a renewed travel ban. But the suspect, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, is from Egypt, and entered the country with a tourist visa before requesting asylum.
During his first term, Trump prohibited foreigners from six Muslim majority countries to enter the United States, a measure that the Supreme Court finally confirmed in a divided decision. Already in his second term, Trump has limited refugee admissions from almost all countries.

Trump increases battles with Harvard and Columbia
Trump intensified his attack at Harvard University last night with a proclamation declaring that he will deny visas for foreign students trying to come to the country to attend school. The proclamation also pointed out that the State Department would review the status of foreign students under certain visas to see if they should be revoked.
The announcement occurred a week after a federal judge blocked the attempt of his administration to revoke Harvard’s ability to register foreign students. The president has attacked the Ivy League school, claiming that he has not done enough to combat anti-Semitism on the campus during the manifestations of the Israel-Ahamas War. Read more about Trump’s proclamation aimed at Harvard.
Earlier on Wednesday, the Trump administration increased its battle with another Ivy League school, Columbia University, threatening its accreditation. The Department of Education said in a statement that he has notified the Columbia Accreditor that the school violated the laws against discrimination, claiming that Columbia “acted with the deliberate indifference towards the harassment of Jewish students” in violation of the Civil Rights Law of 1964. Columbia said he has addressed the concerns of the Trump administration directly with the accreditor of the average states on higher education.
The loss of accreditation would lead to Columbia to lose access to student aid funds. But even if that happened, most likely it does not happen immediately. Read more on the threat of the Trump administration against Columbia.

Job Corps Short to leave thousands of students in Limbo
Job’s teachers and former students fight to provide assistance to students who trust the free housing and food program after the Labor Department announced last week that it would stop operations in 99 centers operated by contract at the end of the month. The closures are part of the scan attempt of President Donald Trump to reduce the federal workforce, but critics have argued that the cuts are endangering the safety and health of the Americans. Job Corps is aimed at low -income students and gives them access to free training and professional education, housing, meals, basic medical care and a life subsidy.
A work department spokesman said that a “comprehensive review” of the program revealed systemic problems, which include “serious incidents, poor results of students and unsustainable costs.”
But those who have benefited from the program said that Jobles’ body has given them opportunities that change their lives. Read the full story here.
