The number of countries facing a US travel ban could rise to above 30 as the Trump administration tightens immigration rules. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said “I won’t be specific on the number, but it’s over 30, and the president is continuing to evaluate countries” during an interview on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle.” Earlier this week, Noem posted on X: “I am recommending a full travel ban on every damn country that’s been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies.” A June State Department memo listed possible targets, including Angola, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ivory Coast, and Nigeria, citing weak passport systems and refusal to accept deported nationals.
