Trump Will Reimpose Travel Ban on Terrorism-Plagued Countries

 The article discusses former President Donald Trump's plan to reimpose a travel ban on certain countries due to terrorism concerns. It clarifies that the original ban, often labeled as the "Muslim ban," was based not on religion, but on the countries' failure to provide sufficient information about terrorism to the U. S. government. Only a small percentage of Muslims globally were affected, as the ban applied to just a few countries with significant terrorist activity.

The article recalls an incident where a Somali national attacked students in Ohio, suggesting that if the travel ban had been in place, such occurrences could have been prevented. It argues that the ban was necessary for national security and points out that some countries could improve their cooperation to be removed from the list, which included countries beyond just Muslim-majority nations.

The Supreme Court upheld the legality of the travel ban, indicating it was not evidence of anti-Muslim bias but rather a justified measure for national security. With Trump's potential return to power, it is expected that the travel ban will be reinstated with some modifications. The article anticipates criticism but highlights a growing sentiment among Americans for stricter immigration controls due to safety concerns.
