About
Executive Order 13769, known as the 'Travel Ban' or 'Muslim Ban,' restricted entry into the United States for nationals from seven Muslim-majority countries (Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen) for 90 days, suspended the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program for 120 days, and indefinitely barred Syrian refugees. Implemented in Trump's first term, it was the first in a series of travel restrictions aimed at national security but widely criticized as discriminatory.
