Come early Monday morning, citizens of a dozen countries will no longer be able to enter the United States under the direction of President Donald Trump.
According to Reuters, the banning of residents from Afghanistan, Iran, Sudan, Yemen, Libya, Chad, Haiti, Equatorial Guinea, Myanmar, Eritrea, the Republic of the Congo, and Somalia, is “a move the president promulgated to protect the country from ‘foreign terrorists.’”
Another handful of countries will also have restricted limitations on who can come into the United States. Those countries are: Cuba, Venezuela, Sierra Leone, Togo, Laos, Burundi, and Turkmenistan, Reuters said.
The ban will go into effect Monday at 12:01 a.m.
There are circumstances where residents in those countries could come to the United States, though.
As listed by the Associated Press, they are:
- Green card holders
- Dual citizens, including U.S. citizens who have citizenship of the banned countries
- Some athletes and their coaches traveling to the U.S. for the World Cup, Olympics or other major sporting events
- Afghans who worked for the U.S. government or its allies in Afghanistan or are holders of special visas
- Iranians from an ethnic or religious minority who are fleeing prosecution
- Certain foreign national employees of the U.S. government that have served abroad for at least 15 years, and their spouses and children
- People who were granted asylum or admitted to the U.S. as refugees before the travel ban took effect
