Washington (CNN) The Trump administration on Friday announced an expansion of the travel ban -- one of the President's signature policies, which has been derided by critics as an attempt to ban Muslims from the US -- to include six new countries. In 2018, the Supreme Court upheld the third version of the travel ban after the previous iterations were challenged in court. The administration did "not feel it would be proportionate to impose travel restrictions" on all travelers, the official said. In October, CNN reported that Trump administration officials were discussing adding more countries to the travel ban list, two sources said. This story has been updated with additional details of the travel ban..
