Donald Trump's travel ban: Why? And why now?
Briefly

The article discusses the Trump administration's latest travel ban as a continuation of its anti-immigration stance, which critics claim primarily serves to rally his right-wing supporters. The ban affects travelers from 12 countries and is framed by the administration as a measure for national security. However, advocates argue it targets racial and religious minorities, citing the ban's arbitrary nature and potential to keep families apart. Experts highlight that this order is consistent with the administration’s broader immigration policies, which have included increased deportations and restrictions on refugees.
The latest travel ban is absolutely part and parcel of the administration's agenda to weaponise immigration laws to target people who are racial and religious minorities.
While the administration is presenting the ban as related to vetting travellers, the move aims to placate Trump's supporters.
