Trump's revised travel ban targets same countries
WASHINGTON (AP) — A draft of President Donald Trump's revised immigration
ban targets the same seven countries listed in his original executive order
and exempts travelers who already have a visa to travel to the U.S., even if
they haven't used it yet.
A senior administration official said the order, which Trump revised after
federal courts held up his original immigration and refugee ban, will target
only those same seven Muslim-majority countries — Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen
, Somalia, Sudan and Libya.
The official said that green-card holders and dual citizens of the U.S. and
any of those countries are exempt. The new draft also no longer directs
authorities to single out — and reject — Syrian refugees when processing
new visa applications.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the order before it'
s made public. The official noted that the draft is subject to change ahead
of its signing, which Trump said could come sometime this week.
Asked about the revised order, White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee
Sanders said the document circulating was a draft and that a final version
should be released soon. The Department of Homeland Security did not
immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Wall Street Journal also reported that the current draft of the revised
order focused on the seven countries but excluded those with green cards.
Trump's original executive order triggered chaos at airports around the
world, as travelers were detained when the order rapidly went into effect, U
.S. permanent residents known as green-card holders among them. Attorneys
provided legal assistance to those held and protesters descended on the
airports as news of the order's implementation spread. In its original form,
the order temporarily suspended all travel to the U.S. for citizens of
those seven Muslim-majority countries for 90 days.
The original order also called for Homeland Security and State department
officials, along with the director of national intelligence, to review what
information the government needs to fully vet would-be visitors and come up
with a list of countries that can't or won't make the information available.
It said the government will give countries 60 days to start providing the
information or citizens from those countries will be barred from traveling
to the United States.
Even if Syrian refugees are no longer automatically rejected under the new
order, the pace of refugees entering the U.S. from all countries is likely
to slow significantly. That's because even when the courts put Trump's
original ban on hold, they left untouched Trump's 50,000-per-year refugee
cap, a cut of more than half from the cap under the Obama administration.
The U.S. has already taken in more than 35,000 refugees this year, leaving
less than 15,000 spots before hitting Trump's cap, according to a U.S.
official. That means that for the rest of this fiscal year, the number of
refugees being let in per week will likely fall to a fraction of what it had
been under the Obama administration's cap of 110,000.
Earlier this month, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco
refused to reinstate Trump's ban, unanimously rejecting the administration's
claim of presidential authority, questioning its motives and concluding
that the order was unlikely to survive legal challenges. The pushback
prompted Trump to tweet "SEE YOU IN COURT!" and he has since lashed out at
the judicial branch, accusing it of issuing a politically motivated decision.
Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly said Saturday that Trump is working
on a "streamlined" version of his executive order banning travel from the
seven nations to iron out the difficulties that landed his first order in
the courts.
Speaking at the Munich Security Conference about combating terrorism, Kelly
said Trump's original order was designed as a "temporary pause" to allow him
to "see where our immigration and vetting system has gaps — and gaps it
has — that could be exploited."
He said the Trump administration was surprised when U.S. courts blocked the
executive order and now "the president is contemplating releasing a tighter,
more streamlined version" of the travel ban.
Kelly said this next time he will be able to "make sure that there's no one
caught in the system of moving from overseas to our airports."
Kelly mentioned "seven nations" again on Saturday, leading to speculation
they will all be included in Trump's next executive order.
Trump's order sparked an immediate backlash and sowed chaos and outrage,
with travelers detained at airports, panicked families searching for
relatives and protesters marching against the sweeping measure — parts of
which were blocked by several federal courts.
Protests were held across the country, including in sight of the Statue of
Liberty and Ellis Island in New York City, and at international airports
where travelers were temporarily detained. | d******y 发帖数: 2787 | 2 又泄密了?!
