Travel announces another, even more wide-ranging arbitrary travel ban
By 
That it was inevitable makes it no less outrageous:
President Donald Trump on Wednesday resurrected a hallmark policy of his first term, announcing that citizens of 12 countries would be banned from visiting the United States and those from seven others would face restrictions.
The ban takes effect Monday at 12:01 a.m., a cushion that may avoid the chaos that unfolded at airports nationwide when a similar measure took effect with virtually no notice in 2017. Trump, who signaled plans for a new ban upon taking office in January, appears to be on firmer ground this time after the Supreme Court sided with him.
Some, but not all, 12 countries also appeared on the list of banned countries in Trump’s first term. The new ban includes Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.
There will be heightened restrictions on visitors from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela.
He was just waiting for the pretext and got it in Boulder, and frankly given Korematsu II it’s not like he even had to wait — the Court has made it clear that “national security” is literally whatever a [Republican] president says it is. Including Afghanistan is a nice touch, though — I blame Biden for not pushing the “no chaos” button.
