00:19South Sudan and Syria. People traveling on documents issued by the Palestinian Authority
00:25are also included in the ban. An additional 15 countries are facing increased restrictions.
00:31The restrictions apply to both people seeking to travel to the U.S. as visitors or to emigrate there.
00:38People who already have visas are lawful permanent residents of the U.S. or have certain visa
00:43categories such as diplomats or athletes, or whose entry into the country is believed to serve
