Yale Law School professors have sent a warning to international students about an imminent US travel ban, as the Trump administration appears poised to implement sweeping new restrictions on foreign nationals entering the country.
In an email on Sunday night, the Yale law professors Muneer Ahmad and Michael Wishnie warned students from potentially affected countries they should consider returning to the United States immediately if abroad or avoid leaving if currently in the US.
“While the government has not formally announced a travel ban, credible reporting strongly suggests that it may imminently suspend the admission of nationals from targeted countries, just as it did in 2017,” wrote the professors, who both instruct on workers and immigrants rights. It is unclear if the email went to all Yale Law school students, and the university did not respond to a request for comment on whether an official advisory was coming.
The email followed similarly timed notices from Brown University, coming after reports from Reuters and the New York Times that the Trump administration is considering a sweeping new travel ban that could target citizens from as many as 43 countries, with 11 nations facing a complete travel prohibition.
