It’s being reported now that Trump is creating a new, more strict travel ban that will target more countries than his previous travel bans. And it will have no stated end date:

Here’s more:

FOX BUSINESS – The Trump administration is preparing to replace its controversial travel ban with a new order tailored on a country-by-country basis but affecting slightly more than the six nations now targeted, the Wall Street Journal said on Friday.

The new rules would not have a stated end date, with countries facing the potential of being added or removed from the list at any time, according to the Journal, which cited people familiar with the process.

The Department of Homeland Security’s plan would replace U.S. President Donald Trump’s earlier executive order that banned travelers from six Muslim-majority countries and limited refugee admissions. The March 6 order suspended travel for people from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen for 90 days and locked out most aspiring refugees for 120 days.

That ban, which took effect in June, is now before the Supreme Court where it faces a key hearing over its constitutionality in October. The 90-day ban expires on Sunday, while the refugee ban expires on Oct. 24.

“The Trump administration will ensure we only admit those who can be properly vetted and will not pose a threat to national security or public safety,” a White House official said when asked about the Journal’s story on Friday.

The Journal’s report said it was not immediately clear which countries would be affected by the latest restrictions, which Trump could reject or modify.

With that White House response it sounds like the new travel ban is definitely going to happen. Of course, you know it will be challenged in court.
