He said countries could be added to or removed from the list, based on whether they comply with U.S. security requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the proclamation, Trump reiterated part of a Jan. 20 executive order, saying “it is the policy of the United States to protect its citizens from aliens who intend to commit terrorist attacks, threaten our national security, espouse hateful ideology, or otherwise exploit the immigration laws for malevolent purposes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUHm8XZ0Nvo\">a video message\u003c/a>, Trump tied the ban to the recent attack by an Egyptian man on a group of people holding a vigil in Boulder, Colorado, for Israeli hostages held by Hamas. Egypt is not on the travel ban list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The attack “has underscored the extreme dangers posed to our country by the entry of foreign nationals who are not properly vetted,” he said. “We don’t want them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ban is set to take effect Monday, June 9, at 12:01 a.m. Eastern time.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Our country is better than this’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla called the plan discriminatory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This senseless, prejudicial policy is an abuse of power that also threatens U.S. citizen relatives from the targeted countries,” he said in a statement. “Our country is better than this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many advocates said that — while the list of banned countries is broader than the one announced in the early days of Trump’s first term, which focused on predominantly Muslim countries — this ban targets countries with “Black and Brown” inhabitants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the same administration that deports Black immigrants only to import White refugees from South Africa under the false claim of genocide,’’ said Guerline Jozef, executive director of the San Diego-based Haitian Bridge Alliance. “Once again, U.S. immigration policy is being weaponized to deny entry, dignity and basic human rights to people from countries that have long borne the brunt of colonialism, Western intervention and economic extraction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The libertarian Cato Institute said the annual chance of being murdered by a terrorist from one of the banned countries from 1975 to the end of 2024 was vanishingly small — about 1 in 13.9 billion per year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cato analyst Alex Nowrasteh called the ban ineffective and a waste of resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The United States government has a responsibility to keep terrorists and criminals out of the country and to remove those who make it through,” he said. “However, the government should pursue a rational and evidence-based approach when evaluating the threat posed by foreign nationals.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, immigrant advocates and resettlement organizations were especially concerned about the impact of the ban on the tens of thousands of Afghans the U.S. admitted on temporary parole after airlifting them out of Kabul as the Taliban took over in 2021. Some have received asylum, which provides a path to legal permanent residence, but many others are still in the process of applying.

He said countries could be added to or removed from the list, based on whether they comply with U.S. security requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the proclamation, Trump reiterated part of a Jan. 20 executive order, saying “it is the policy of the United States to protect its citizens from aliens who intend to commit terrorist attacks, threaten our national security, espouse hateful ideology, or otherwise exploit the immigration laws for malevolent purposes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUHm8XZ0Nvo\">a video message\u003c/a>, Trump tied the ban to the recent attack by an Egyptian man on a group of people holding a vigil in Boulder, Colorado, for Israeli hostages held by Hamas. Egypt is not on the travel ban list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The attack “has underscored the extreme dangers posed to our country by the entry of foreign nationals who are not properly vetted,” he said. “We don’t want them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ban is set to take effect Monday, June 9, at 12:01 a.m. Eastern time.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Our country is better than this’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>U.S. Sen.

Chu recently re-introduced a bill in Congress, dubbed the NO BAN Act, that \u003ca href=\"https://www.coons.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/no_bans_act_section_by_section.pdf\">would require visa restrictions\u003c/a> to be narrowly tailored, non-discriminatory and based on specific evidence. The bill passed the House in 2021 on a largely party-line vote, including support from all California Democrats and opposition from all California Republicans. It stalled in the Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, Bay Area lawmakers Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D–San José) and Rep. Lateefah Simon (D–Oakland) have expressed support for the bill, and U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla (D–Calif.) is a co-sponsor of the Senate version. None of California’s Republican delegation, including Rep. Tom McClintock (R–Modesto), the chair of the House Judiciary Committee’s immigration subcommittee, responded to requests for comment on their positions on the NO BAN Act or a possible travel ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For her part, Chu remembered rushing to Los Angeles International Airport in 2017 when Trump’s first travel ban was imposed — a scenario she hopes will never be repeated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I got these frantic calls about 50 Muslims being detained who had green cards, legitimate travel documents, but they were kept there with no food, water or access to basic legal representation,” she said. “Our legislation would say that future presidents can’t abuse their authority to suspend the entry of people to pursue anti-immigrant or bigoted ends.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Chaos at airports from first-term travel ban\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In January 2017, at the start of his first term, Trump signed an executive order banning travel to the U.S. by people from seven predominantly Muslim countries: Iraq, Iran, Syria, Yemen, Libya, Somalia and Sudan.

"content": "\u003cp>On a Wednesday in March, Savannah Malakoff was on the way to pick up her wedding dress from a shop in Danville when a flurry of text messages started to come in. \"Have you checked the news?\" her friends and family wanted to know. President Donald Trump had just announced a travel ban on \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/proclamation-suspension-entry-immigrants-nonimmigrants-certain-additional-persons-pose-risk-transmitting-2019-novel-coronavirus/\">26 European countries\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The napkins had arrived in the mail with the wedding date printed on them; the final alterations on the bridesmaid dresses were complete; the flowers, the caterer, even the honeymoon in Mendocino was paid for. Everything was on track for the ceremony on April 14.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Malakoff’s fiance, Malte Schmidt, was stuck in Germany and wouldn’t make it to San Francisco in time for their wedding day. The travel ban barred him and other foreigners from entering the United States if they had been in any of the 26 banned countries during the previous 14 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coronavirus pandemic has disrupted life in innumerable ways — with major tragedies such as job loss, illness and death, as well as less drastic aggravations, including canceled summer vacations, uncertain school plans, and the inability to be close to family and friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Countless American couples have had to rethink their wedding plans, as social distancing requirements have shut down hotels, restaurants and other venues. But for those getting married to a sweetheart from a different country, the pandemic has caused even greater obstacles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the virus began surging early this year, Trump announced a series of increasingly stringent travel restrictions against other countries. In January, any foreigner who had been in China was \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/proclamation-suspension-entry-immigrants-nonimmigrants-certain-additional-persons-pose-risk-transmitting-2019-novel-coronavirus/\">banned\u003c/a> from entry into the U.S. A month later, the ban was extended to Iran. As COVID-19 took hold in Europe, travel from those countries was prohibited in mid-March. At the end of May, \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/proclamation-suspension-entry-immigrants-nonimmigrants-certain-additional-persons-pose-risk-transmitting-novel-coronavirus/\">Brazil\u003c/a> was included in the travel ban. At the same time, the Trump administration has halted most work visas and new green cards for would-be immigrants outside the U.S. through the end of the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"travel-ban\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. is not the only nation shielding itself from the outside. \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/article/coronavirus-travel-restrictions.html\">Countries around the world\u003c/a> have imposed restrictions or completely shut their borders, in an attempt to curb the spread of the disease. And with no cure in sight, it’s unclear when those borders will open again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some analysts believe Trump and other world leaders are using COVID-19 as a pretext to close borders. A crisis like this allows governments to advance agendas in ways they could not in normal times, says Muzaffar Chishti, a senior fellow with the Migration Policy Institute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We're not surprised that immigration restrictions are being put in place, because they have been part of the President's narrative almost since he took office and certainly during his campaign,” said Chishti. “The instinct in this administration is to be more careful. There is much more emphasis on screening people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Malakoff, 19, and Schmidt, 23, learned of the travel restrictions on March 11, they still had hope. The ban wouldn’t take effect until Friday, which would give Schmidt 48 hours to make the trip from Germany to the U.S. But then they realized he would only be able to enter as a tourist. His K-1 “fiance” visa hadn’t yet been approved by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, and without it, the government wouldn’t allow him to become a legal permanent resident based on their marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11827317\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11827317 size-large\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43853_Savannah_Screenshot2-qut-1020x1007.jpg\" alt=\"Savannah Malakoff and Malte Schmidt had a wedding planned in April, but in March, the Trump administration banned travel from 26 European countries, including Schmidt’s home country Germany.\" width=\"640\" height=\"632\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43853_Savannah_Screenshot2-qut-1020x1007.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43853_Savannah_Screenshot2-qut-800x790.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43853_Savannah_Screenshot2-qut-160x158.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43853_Savannah_Screenshot2-qut-1536x1517.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43853_Savannah_Screenshot2-qut.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Savannah Malakoff and Malte Schmidt had a wedding planned in April, but in March, the Trump administration banned travel from 26 European countries, including Schmidt’s home country Germany. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Savannah Malakoff)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>So Schmidt reluctantly canceled his plane ticket and the couple postponed the wedding. The florist returned their money and so did the men’s clothing store where Schmidt was purchasing his suit. The hotel for the honeymoon offered a credit, not a refund, one they hope to eventually cash in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My wedding dress we’re keeping, of course,” said Malakoff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 25,000 people were admitted on K-1 visas in 2018, based on the most recent data available, though the number \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhs.gov/immigration-statistics/yearbook/2018/table25\">dropped by 35%\u003c/a> from just two years earlier. Couples like Malakoff and Schmidt have to pass a \u003ca href=\"https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/nonimmigrant-visa-for-a-fiance-k-1.html#6\">rigorous review\u003c/a> in order to obtain the visa. In addition to providing police records, a medical examination and evidence of financial support, they need to show that their relationship is real.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proving they were in love wasn’t hard for the young couple. They met at a bible school in Quebec in late 2017 and started dating the following summer. They stayed in touch when they returned to their respective countries and visited back and forth for the next two years, staying with each others’ families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They require you to write out your whole love story with every detail to show that it's an authentic relationship,” Malakoff recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For her it included presenting photos, private text messages and boarding passes from their flights to visit each other. “People say that you do crazy things for love. But [you’ll do it] if that's what it takes,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took Malakoff about a month to complete the petition, which she submitted in early December. Many couples hire an immigration lawyer to help fill out the form, something she and Schmidt couldn’t afford. She’s taking college classes and teaching math, and he worked in sales for a construction machinery business in Germany. The fiance visa petition alone cost \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/i-129f\">$535\u003c/a>, plus another $265 for Schmidt’s travel document and additional fees for things like his medical exam, birth certificate, passport and document translation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Antonello Russo\"]'I think you just need to understand that there’s nothing you can really do. It’s beyond your control. There are so many people who are actually suffering much more than a young couple who wants to get married.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schmidt’s fiance petition was approved March 27 and, if not for the coronavirus, the couple would be married by now. Once Schmidt arrives in the U.S., they will have 90 days to tie the knot. But as long as the travel ban remains, they are still in limbo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The uncertainty is just extremely difficult for us,” said Schmidt by phone from his village outside Siegen, a university town in central Germany. “If we at least knew that the [COVID-19] restrictions would be over in three months or in half a year, that would make things much easier.” It has been eight months since he and Malakoff saw each other last.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Couples all over the world find themselves in similar circumstances. Border restrictions, shuttered embassies and other coronavirus disruptions have forced some engaged couples apart and turned plans upside down for others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11827315\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11827315\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43851_Faten_traditional-engagement-2_v2-qut-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Faten Bushehri (L) is from Bahrain and engaged to a man in the Netherlands.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43851_Faten_traditional-engagement-2_v2-qut-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43851_Faten_traditional-engagement-2_v2-qut-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43851_Faten_traditional-engagement-2_v2-qut-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43851_Faten_traditional-engagement-2_v2-qut-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43851_Faten_traditional-engagement-2_v2-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Faten Bushehri (L) is from Bahrain and engaged to a man in the Netherlands. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Faten Bushehri)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“To postpone our wedding for a whole year puts our life on hold,” said Faten Bushehri, a woman from Bahrain who’s engaged to a man in the Netherlands. “There are some things we just can’t reverse.

It’s beyond your control,” said Antonello Russo, an Italian man engaged to a Czech woman. “There are so many people who are actually suffering much more than a young couple who wants to get married.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Malakoff in California and Schmidt in Germany, there’s nothing to do but wait and hope. The fiance petition was approved in late March, but it will expire July 26. And as long as international travel restrictions are in place, Schmidt still can’t enter the U.S. If the petition expires, they’ll have to file paperwork all over again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We finally have permission,” said Malakoff. “The only thing standing in our way now is this travel ban.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Malakoff and Schmidt, the wedding was supposed to be the starting point of a life together in California. For now, not only is the wedding postponed, but so is their ability to be together at all.\u003c/p>\n\n",
