The Trump administration announced in a proclamation on Wednesday that it will ban nationals from Haiti from entering the United States and partially limit Cubans and Venezuelans from coming into the country.

US President Donald Trump's sweeping new travel ban barring nationals from 12 countries came into effect Monday after midnight amid mounting public anger over the administration's crackdown on immigrants.

U.S. Rep. Mike Lawler, a fellow Republican, urged the Trump administration to reverse its decision. Lawler's 17th District includes Spring Valley, home to the second-largest Haitian diaspora, per capita, in the U.S.
