Trump Announces Travel Ban And Restrictions On 19 Countries Set To Go Into Effect Monday
AdvertisementSome, but not all, 12 countries also appeared on the list of banned countries in Trump’s first term. AdvertisementHaiti, which avoided the travel ban during Trump’s first term, was also included for high overstay rates and large numbers who came to the U.S. illegally. AdvertisementDuring his first term, Trump issued an executive order in January 2017 banning travel to the U.S. by citizens of seven predominantly Muslim countries — Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen. The order, often referred to as the “Muslim ban” or the “travel ban,” was retooled amid legal challenges, until a version was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2018. Trump and others have defended the initial ban on national security grounds, arguing it was aimed at protecting the country and not founded on anti-Muslim bias.

Trump Blames Colorado 'Flamethrower' Attack On Biden Immigration Policies
LOADING ERROR LOADINGPresident Donald Trump pinned blame for Sunday’s fiery attack on Colorado protesters squarely on former President Joe Biden as he turned an expression of sympathy for the victims into a call to continue his administration’s immigration crackdown. AdvertisementFox News has reported that Soliman was an Egyptian national who overstayed his visa, but those details have yet to be confirmed by law enforcement. Stephen Miller, Trump’s top national security adviser, said on X that the suspect overstayed a tourist visa and was subsequently granted a work permit under the Biden administration. “Yesterday’s horrific attack in Boulder, Colorado, WILL NOT BE TOLERATED in the United States of America,” Trump wrote Monday on Truth Social. Political leaders, including some who have advocated against Israel’s brutal war in the Gaza Strip, swiftly condemned the Colorado attack as antisemitic.

My 6-Year-Old Son Drowned In Our Pool. Here's What I Wish I Had Known To Keep Him Safe.
The pool was in full compliance with town safety codes that mandated fencing and door alarms for entrances to the pool area. I was confident that Henry ― a very strong, skilled swimmer and someone hyper-aware of the importance of water safety ― would make a highly competent lifeguard. For Henry, water safety was not an abstraction. Karen Cohn co-founded The ZAC Foundation in 2008 with her husband, Brian Cohn, after their 6-year-old son, Zachary Archer Cohn, drowned when his arm became entrapped in a pool drain. She has written about water safety issues for major media outlets and is also a Northeast Trustee of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
