A new travel ban is coming. Will it hold up in court?
Jun 05, 2025•8 min
Episode description
President Trump has signed a new travel ban. Travelers from 12 countries will be barred from entering the US, and people from an additional seven countries will face partial travel restrictions.
The proclamation goes into effect June 9 — and fulfills something Trump has long-promised: to bring back the travel ban from his first term.
But that ban was the subject of many legal challenges. Some legal scholars say President Trump has learned a lot since then.
