🏛️How Things Work: The Legal Edition | Examining the Impact of the Latest Travel Ban
The Trump administration’s nationality-based travel ban, which took effect on June 9, 2025, includes layered restrictions affecting 19 countries, primarily with Muslim-majority or African populations. Justified by the administration as a national security measure, the new policy has been structured to withstand judicial scrutiny.
Nonetheless, civil rights advocates have raised substantive concerns about potential religious and racial discrimination, overbreadth, and due process implications. In evaluating the impact of these restrictions, advocates continue to question the breadth of executive authority in defining and acting upon national security justifications within the immigration context.
