Biden infuriates progressives after denying entry to thousands still affected by Trump's travel ban
Fox News
President Biden reversed his predecessor's controversial travel ban on his first day in office, but is still denying entry to thousands of people affected by it, infuriating progressive lawmakers who have decried the position as "unacceptable."
But that policy does not extend to one significant group: the thousands of individuals who were tapped to receive "diversity visas," which are intended to increase immigration from countries that are not normally awarded many visas, during the fiscal years of the Trump administration. State Department spokesperson Ned Price said in a statement on Monday that those individuals are still barred from being issued visas if they haven't already received them because "the deadlines for visa issuance in those fiscal years have expired."More Related News
