Trump Prepares To Issue New Version of Travel Ban

It seems that there's no stopping Donald Trump in his infamous instigation of the "travel ban." His first executive order, which has been suspended by the federal courts of the United States, banned all residents from seven major Muslim countries from entering the United States.

But a new version is said to roll out again later this week. Inside information was gleaned from some administration officials who wanted to remain anonymous. This new travel ban was said to be meticulously prepared and studied so as it will not again raise questions from the federal courts that may again suspend the order.

Although the premise of the policy wouldn't change, insiders said that this new version would exempt those who are currently visa holders. The new travel ban would just be instilled in those residents of the targeted countries who doesn't have a US visa prior to the ban.

According to Trump, The motive for the ban was to give the new US administration a time to prepare all the necessary procedures and safety protocol for immigration against those seven major terrorist countries. But according to a report by USA Today: "District Judge James Robart in Seattle and a unanimous panel of three judges of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco found no credible national security threat posed by refugees and other immigrants from the countries targeted by the ban."

"An internal Department of Homeland Security analysis came to the same conclusion. The memo, first obtained by the Associated Press, found that relatively few people from the seven countries have carried out, or been involved in, terrorism-related activities in the US since Syria's war started in 2011," it added.

Justice Department lawyers are still reassuring the people that the travel ban is a necessary precaution and not an excuse to promote discrimination and racism. But the public is still not swayed.

Senior policy adviser Stephen Miller said that the new version of the travel ban would just have some minor tweaks that would just let the policy enter legal muster and that basically, the premise remains the same. An announcement is expected to be made later this week.
