Trump's new ban dodges pitfalls faced by last attempt, experts say
Original Publication Time: June 5, 2025 | 3 Hours Ago
President Trump's new immigration ban has avoided pitfalls faced by the previous attempt, notably its scope and the prompt legal action that followed. Experts have noticed that the new ban is more narrowly tailored, affecting a smaller range of countries and individuals already abroad.
While the original travel ban faced swift legal challenges, with opponents using the fact that it affected innocent civilians, the new ban has somehow managed to avoid the same backlash. Experts note that the new ban only affects those with some connection to designated terrorist organisations, reducing the number of affected civilians.
However, critics have argued that the new ban still suffers from the same underlying issues as the original. Professor of Constitutional Law at Stanford University, David Levine, argues that both bans suffer from a lack of any credible evidence of a security threat, and that the President is still overstepping his constitutional rights in issuing the ban.
What's Next?
The new travel ban is set to take effect in the coming days. Experts are now waiting to see how the revised ban will be implemented, and if the legal challenges will materialise.
Timely Commentary
As the new travel ban takes effect, experts are paying close attention to how the administration navigates the issues that plagued the first attempt. It is expected that any future amendments will be similarly scrutinised, with the hope that the President will take on board the lessons learned.
